Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me with this..

The info I have is that this is the WWI U110, whilst being dismantled at Swan Hunter Shipyard.
What is puzzling me is the Type U93 only had 2 stern tubes, this looks at if it has 4 ?
Or am I just being stupid and looking at the bow

Thanks

I see anchors and no propeller shafts. Maybe that is the bow.

It is indeed the bow...Swans is or was four mile from my place of abode and I remember visiting the museum they had on site (before the yards closure) and seeing the pictures and exhibit about the above.

Well I thought that pretty obvious to those who determined it was the bow

Thanks,

Yes i'd seen the anchors etc and at first i did think it was the bow, but never seen the plane guards on bow planes before so that's what confused me :p
