Once upon a time not so long ago and in a galaxy not that far away, the planets came into alignment and the milSubs came together...



Some "famous faces" in amongst that lot!

Well, we did have a bun fight at the milSub dinner: does that count as "active duty"..?

I've seen pictures of two or three MilSubs together but this thread just blew my mind, some stunning pictures and collections!

If I weren't still paying off the food bill I could probably afford another mil sub :-(

Bernhard posted a nice photo-journal of the day in Chester.

Insurers have now insisted that my mil subs are stored in separate barracks so parade will be rather more difficult in future.

It would make for a rather extravagant summer fete game : "Guess the market value of the display and win the lot!"

I'm not surprised your insurers have imposed terms H , they probably heard about the exploits of butter fingers Wood and his (and by his , I mean yours ) amazing flying timepieces :-):-):-)

That's too easy! They were £175 each from Motosail in Weymouth...irregardless of whether they had sword or Merc hands, and 15' or 60' marker bezels!

Quick! to the DeLorean and let's get back to 1986!!
