Jens, Thank
you for the link to Lambert’s plans. I have several of his books
and probably a copy of his X-Craft plans. Will be placing an order
with him shortly for a variety of further submersible plans. Kittredge’s
experiences while piloting a Welman midget submarine lead to a number of
design decisions found in his K-boats. Also
found a link on his pages for Explosion! The Naval Armament Museum in Gosport, England.
Several Brits have highly recommended a visit to this museum but they couldn’t
remember the name of it. Hoping to visit the Submarine Museum in Gosport
in early September, 2009 and give a presentation on Simon Lake. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay
