Ralph,

Sorry, but no website at the moment, as we are still only a project. We are trying to get an old WWII airfield here for our museum site. I will however try to make a website soon, and will post address here. I have a nice little collection of original U-boat items, which is going stronger month by month.

As for the story above, Agent Ib Riis´s pistol was never recovered, as he never told the British that he had been armed. The pistol is still burried there in the sand, in the original holster wrapped in an oil cloth amd one of his shirts.

I sent Mr. Riis a map of the area where he landed, and he marked in the spot where he burried the gun, and sent it back to me. I will in the summer go to this remote place with a tent, GPS, his map and a metal detector and try to find the gun. It will be a real treasure hunt!

Regards

Hinrik
