[PSUBS-MAILIST] Titan submersible missing at Titanic site

[Marc de Piolenc via Personal_Submersibles]

I know. I fell in love with FC for yachts, which made me wonder how 
useful it would be for pressure hulls... Turns out there is a 2010 
exchange of messages in my archive with somebody on this list who built 
in FC, Brian Cox. Is he still there?
