It's like taking a trip down the memory lane.

Thanks for sharing those pictures.

And of course the stories from the meeting.

I was tying to locate Catfish, I had his phone number in my PMs, but could not log into my Neal account (password error), so I had to use the Conan account to get in touch with him.

Great pics Catfish. We'll take more if you got them.:up:

How many of those shirts does Neal have? :D:O:

Names as to who is who would be of some benefit perhaps?

Looks like it was a great little meet. You all look like you had a good time. Funny no one visited the bilge. :haha:

:Kaleun_Salute:

First up is Dan, (You think he's contemplating another Subsim?) Then A passer by maybe looking for a photo op?, Next is Blitzkrieg (Police in New York are still searching for those shoes!) Neal of course! Next 2 are members of U2 or possible Men in Black?

I'm the ugly one.... does that help you?:O:

On the left is Dan, second from left (the pale sand worm) is me, Blitzkrieg is next, then there is only one who can wear the infamous lighthouse shirt and you know who it is. The men in black are Oscar and Einar (spelling?) but I have to admit I forgot who is who of them.

Thanks, will put some more here this evening, and the rest on Box with a link. There are not so much though, i take it Oscar and Einar made a lot and can post them also here or elsewhere (?).

As i said the meeting was much too short, would be nice to repeat this with some more time at my hands..

I already had a hard time to explain the "Untertriebszellen" thing :haha:, and for Dan, Einar and Oscar: this second glass plate at the obs scope is not for detecting water/fog in the scope (as i assumed), for this there are two other "valves", and a tap for draining. Have not found out what the second glass is for, maybe there was another part fitted, like a "Dreieckspeiler" (~triangle direction finder). Maybe we can ask Paul ?

Here is some more about the observation periscope, which had some different names in german, like
Beobachtungssehrohr
Luftzielsehrohr
Nachtsehrohr
(Sehrohr = Periscope)
The angle of the upper lens could be moved, so you could see planes directly above, also the viewing angle was wider than that of the attack periscope, which is why it also was used at night due to the better luminosity.

The observation periscope in the 995 is pof the ASR C/13 type.

Greetings,

Didn't notice this last night on first viewing but yep, that's the famous lighthouse shirt :yeah:

Thank you sir, I have met both Dan and Neal in person and have seen previous pictures of Oscar and Einar but I'll unashamedly admit that it was you I was wanting to identify.

I still have fond memories of the discussions we have had on TS in previous years and always found you to be friendly and polite.

I have a list of people I intend meeting in person one day and you are one of those on that list.

I was talking to Neal the other day and said "I'm getting a sudden urge to drop everything and jump on a flight to Hamburg" and Neals response was predictable, "Do it".

I'm regretting not having done that now.

Nowt changes ya crazy bugga :D

:D




Yes, it was too short, I wish you could have attended the pub/kebab mess afterwards.

I wish you had been there, brother. I think we would still be there now if you had.

i found Neal and Blitz ;)

We're missing Catfish, do we have a pic of him in the group? Maybe Oleks has one.., I will check

^ And I hoped no one misses my picture: :88)
Unfortunately there should be one taken by Schroeder on the other camera, will look again this evening. Hmm, seems Oleks also escaped from the group photos.

Really a bunch of nice guys! Thanks again Neal for organizing, and all your work :up:. I hope your 9-hour-drive home went well. And apart from the other usual suspects, I would like to stay in contact with Dan, Oleks and Paul X., lots of questions, also regarding the journal. I think Neal has the info, or we read each other on Subsim.
Maybe we can create a four-man "crew of 2016", for Marulken. Or even better, several :cool:

I'm fairly certain I took one and since I failed to smuggle the camera back into my own car you should still be in possession of it.:O:

What? After all I've done to you???:o
Got to try harder next time then.:shifty:


fun terminated:O:


I remember...you asked me about U-boot stuff and I sent you a "NewView" file for IL-2....I'm afraid my hearing has gone further south since then....:88)

He better have a few in a larger size!
He's starting to over whelm the old one!
:haha:

OK. 10 days in the brig?
:hmmm:
:03:

I suppose, but why would we want to put Neal in the brig?

To keep him from the 'All You Can Eat' places?
:haha:

I do believe that was brought up at the 2008 Subsim meet in his house.
I do have to say Neal is ageing much better then Mel.
:D
