<HTML>Hi Ray,
None from the US of A to date - perhaps its too far away! Chris is coming from Tasmania but thats not too far if you got a VW camper :-))
There are some external photos of U 534 on the web, I\'ll look out the url if you cant find them via a search engine.
Photos inside the U 534 are not allowed. I believe thats because it might discourage people from visiting (sorta having seen the pics why see the real thing)
Well I suppose thats Danish logic for you - they do still own the U-boat as far as I am aware. To my mind it would be better to wrap their Danish Blue Cheese in pics of U 534 and encourage folks to visit and take photos.
Some of us will post details of the visit in here and hopefully some pics for you all to see. I understand there is a well stocked gift shop there (well it was \'till some Australian guy went there and spent over £400 on \'gizzits\' - the staff were so impressed that someone even gave the bloke a lift back to his hotel)
Most of those going will be Europeans, French, Czech, Italian Oh and us Brits.
It would be great to see some more nationalities though.... Doesnt really matter where we come from or what lingo we speak..... we all have an interest in the same subject :-))
Regards
