Two U-boat wrecks found off the Orkneys

The news on this broke a little earlier than I expected. A sonar sweep shows the images of two U-boat wrecks off the Orkneys. I'm among the experts attempting to identify them. Dives are planned on the wrecks soon, subject to weather conditions.

The wrecks are about a mile apart. Based upon the sonar scans, the wreck not shown in the news story looks very much like U 102. The wreck shown is harder to make out, but could possibly be U 92.

(They spelt my name wrong, but still...)
