Thanks for the link. I wouldn't mind having a look when the exhibition opens in July, but Liverpool's a bit of a trek for me.

Can't believe they pushed on with it

If the last picture is gonna be the new set-up for it then it ruins the overall impression of it's vast size.

Not too sure if i'll look it up as U-995 in Laboe, Germany is a bit closer to home for me. And at least it's still intact.
