IIRC, U-505 has saddles. Maybe they took it from there

Edit: Found this picture: http://www.uboatarchive.net/U-505EnclG437.htm

It seems the saddle could be turned

Yesterday I had a look at Chicago Museum's site but didn't find any pics of the planesmen station.

Just looked once more - there's one pic that looks like there're leather seats with back rests?

http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here.../dive-trainer/

I think the planesmen felt like sitting in a Porsche...

That's certainly not authentic. It's american luxury...



Or is it a replication of the planesmen station? The gauges and wheels look very weird...

Interesting...

As DD already mentioned: some sub types came with saddles other came with benches.
U-505 was a IXC type.

Hi SSB,

try google (pictures) with 'u 505 before restoration site:subsim.com' and you should see a picture of the old saddle.

Cheers, LGN1

505 had saddles, was just there Tuesday, corrupting some of my daughter's 2nd grade classmates as a chaperone on a field trip.

It seems that the Type VII had the bench and the Type IX had saddles. That said, there was probably a lot of variation and experimentation. Which type of seat was installed may depend on u-boat type, or it may depend on which shipyard built the boat in question.

There is no question that SH5 is correct, especially in regard to the helmsman's position, which doesn't even exist in SH3. We'll see how that works after U-Boat HAHD is released.
