Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] psub building on Belgium television

Good to see they got something going.  They contacted me more than a year ago and I helped as best I could but it was difficult to work with them over such distance.  I think I also suggested that they contact you since they are pretty much right in your back yard.

Hi all,

 

The Belgium tv show “Tomtesterom” about difficult challenges to be done by the host (Tom Waes) were looking for help. Via James Frankland they came to me.

Tom has with help of a specialist and a “how to” book landed a Boeing 737, rode a wild Mustang, ran a kindergarten etc.

Now the challenge was to build a sub from a tank in a few weeks and cross a 3 mile lake underwater.

Earlier episodes from the show learnt me that they thread the subject and the insiders with much respect.  

 

So I helped them with the design and teach how to handle the first Eurosub .

They did not manage the few weeks building time but they build a functional psub !

The square conning tower was NOT my idea ….
