If i should win the British National Lottery in the future here are my plans for the winnings:-
1. Give the wife £100,000 to start a new life....on her own :lol:,
2. Have a VIIC replica U-Boat built, external dimensions only.
3. Interior of boat fitted with fake valves and hydraulics as detailed on origional.
4. Computers installed in each watchkeepers postion, ie helm/navigator etc with 40 inch screen and high tech pc in each position.!
5. Bunkspace quarters replicated, sleeptight matress additional.
6. Radio room replicated to play gramaphone tunes, 86 year old DJ required, or grandson with knowledge of 1940's radio a "must".
7. Hydrophone room converted into shower room including B-Day and mini bar serving only the best German Snaps!!
8. Captains bunk replicated however, silent night matress included!!
9.FWD Torpedo room replicated with fake torpedos and bunks included.
10.Aft Torpedo room converted into U-Boat Bar, named "Sandy Bottoms" with happy hour from 7.39pm (19:39) until 7.41 (19:41) :up:
11.Bow and AFT Quarters would be replica of origional u-boat for sleeping over.
12.Diesel room would be replicated but with built in speakers to generate engine sounds whilst at sea.
13.The bridge would be mainly a smoking area and for those taking time out from SH3 below but i would consider adding a cinematic screen and some chairs to watch various movies on a projector such as Das Boot and Above Us the Waves!
14.Complete and Total free board to the GWX developers, everyone else $20 a night or a crate of snaps for free stay.;)
15. No galley onboard as all meals would be like "in flight" and stowed at the aft ends of the control room, sorry fella's but costs etc :yep:
Obviously this is WIP until i get my cheque from the lottery guys :know: but im open to ideas, the plan would be to have the said U-Boat situated on Drakes Island (off Plymouth) feel free to Google Earth the Location but Ive chosen here as it would soak in the wheather elements etc.
Add your ideas as you wish Shipmates, you never know :hmm:
