[PSUBS-MAILIST] Pilot Fish Project

[Alan James]

Antoine,
I tried to get to the Ifremer facility last year when I was in Marseilles.
I drove from Marseilles to Toulon but it all got a bit hard. Everyone was driving on the
wrong side of the road& the signs were in French. 
That is great getting the cameras & lighting, that would be worth quite a bit.
Well done.
Alan

Alan,
We have not thought about retrofit yet. the sub may stay for a year in exhibits. if we did we d just need an electric motor inside the cabin as the prop shaft will be inside.

other thing we did last week end: visit the IFREMER submersibles facility in Toulon, the folks there will help us with camera and lighting equipment. 

we saw the Nautile too. quite a nice visit. They don t publicize a lot but they ve done quite a lot of nice prototypes.


regards
antoine
