I had my scuba gear with me was mid of the nienties - but saw that
inside the hatches everthing was filled with lose cables and piping -
and decide not to dive. No they are buried under tons of sand 4 meter
high and a parking lot is on top of it..

I was thinking about the missing mini-sub prototyps shown in 1947 in
Fort Lauderdale, german, britisch and italian - one of the single seater
"Delphin" midget was shown there and is still missing. And were are all
the prototyps papers are gone ?
