It's definately an April fools. I can prove it! If we'd bought a US sub and re-fitted it, we would have cut down the fair water to a late war configuration, so it looked cooler.

Didn't that one never really go away and kept 'resurfacing' much to some people's annoyance? I'm sure there's some rule about April fool's and after midday (depnding on the TZ it was posted in of course).

Obviously Neal bought that name and set up that website with the cheque he got for selling his screenplay.
