If they had computers back then this would the ultimate naval hack in for BdU. :D

The war would be over before Christmas. :DL

Thanks for the link! Bookmarked. :yep:

Ive seen something similar last year in my hometown port administration building, though it was much more sophisticated (spl?) this is quite cool !!! I never suspected things like that could be left to the public.

That's very very cool. Just look at the channel. :o

cool stuff...

and how are you enjoying your wild night in bangkok... (your avatar.):rotfl:

:rotfl: I want it to go away, quick!


It's the first time i've ever seen it, why me :wah:

No more endless empty patrols:D

Look what i have found... Obveously bernard`s career has outlived the war and is triving to this day...Though his navigational skills havent improved much...

Tried tracking my lads vessel Zim Shenzhen, sailed from Tarragona (Italy) on 4th heading across the Atlantic to Halifax (Nova Scotia)....a definite convoy route.

Any sightings, please report.

Nice piece of kit.....beats schedule printouts anyday. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

It comes with post #179. It goes away again with post #180.

Could you imagine the excitement of knowing not only the size of the tanker (100,000+ tonnes), but also the location, speed and final destination of these ships ahead of time.

Almost like time cheating isnt it :rotfl:

jimbuna, Zim Shenzhen went through Gibraltar yesterday so, we won't see it again till it reaches Halifax. Do you know when it is scheduled to arrive there?

Bloody amazing :o

Did you see her on the map or is there a way of tracing the buggas ?

Pray tell :up:

She is due at Halifax on 11th July at 05:00

I couldn't find the first one that had all the position reports up to her leaving the Gibralter area but, I found this.

This info is very much appreciated, what programme and how do you go about tracking the bugga?....Mrs. Buna (Ann) will now have me on a high alert status nearer the expected arrival at Halifax date :DL

Very interesting, thanks for posting both links. I wasn't aware that there was publicly-available live tracking.

Jim, it is all part of the link in the first post. I switched to vessels, search all, pasted in Zim Shenzhen and clicked search, then clicked on Zim Shenzhen, then on the left side of the screen located this

Edit: Or, as I just discovered, click Itineraries History above, it takes you right there.

Cheers matey....simply awaiting her to show up off the Canadian coast now :yeah:
