Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Biber
Sorry for the late reply-I've had my head stuck in the books for the last few days. Final tests at school-I am beginning to think I am too old for this. I would love to get a Seehund or Biber through or for our museum but it would never work here. Our museum deals strictly with local/regional history with a big significance on the Mississippi River Delta area. A steamboat for sure, a Civil War Hunley, David or similar craft maybe, but not a WWII midget submarine, German or American. I am sure though that a nautical or maritime institution somewhere would go for it. I would imagine the US Naval Academy would love to have one. It would be a great project. If I want a Seehund, I am on my own as far as our museum goes. I gotta build it. I saw the current AIR CLASSICS magazine over the weekend- The "new" ME 262s START at 2 Million US. Carsten, I think you are exactly right-there would be no market for a replica WWII midget boat no matter what the type. At least here in the US. Alles Gute Käpitan! Mark
