Rainer, Yeah, that's a nice idea but his mother would probably not like that Odd Christmas, me hanging around alone and the two of the at the hospital for observations for the next 2 days. But well worth it. I also figured out that young kids don't really understand what you're saying when reading to them so I guess I can read some U-boat material to him when the mother i

These aircraft were taken from a Sunderland of 461 Sqn, RAAF. They were sent to me by the son of the pilot. I have corrected this and added some text to the photos. Gudmundur Helgason

Hi guys, Yeah, you are right. This cannot be the U-249 (VIIC). I don't know why I did not catch this one - perhaps because the e-mails constantly said "U-249 surrenders" I've renamed this gallery, yes, this appears to be the U-516. Gudmundur Helgason

Hi folks I was alerted to a rather large problem this forum was causing on the server and I am working on solving that right now. The problem was an incredible amount of space and files the anti-spam measures were taking. I hope I have solved this for the most part.

Hi Platon, Thanks for this report.

Hi there, Well, there is loads of spelling options out there so not there is not much I can do about this. uboat.net itself is safe until March 2011 at least so no worries there Overall, it's not the domain that matters most but the content and community like you've created here on the forums. - Gummi
