I am currently creating the animations for the helmsman: Somebody has to operate the engine telegraphs...
I had a little discussion with Diving Duck regarding the bench: in his opinion, the bench was not normally used during WWII, but more or less an exception or added later. As I am a great fan of the bench, in my opinion this was the standard equipment during the war, but I do not have any evidence to proof this thesis. Does anyone of you know more details about the use of the bench?
Best regards, MCHALO12.
