2 May 2007 - U714 - Update

Well Well looks like Innes Mc Cartney has identified this boat as a type VII U-Boat and Identified her as U714...pity we had done this last year....see earlier News on this site..but he is the expert, funnily enough he has identified H11 as well! which had been found and identified by Bishop Auckland Divers a few years ago...
So had a look at his press release , no mention for SQSAC, and only a little footnote mention for Jim and Iain from Marine Quest who put us on the mark in the first place.
Doesnt exactly tell the whole story either! journalistic Licence no doubt.

Moral of this story dont believe all you read in the press

Anyway I have had a really nice e-mail from the surviving Crew of the Natal who sunk U714 thanking us for all the work we have put in on this project, and I hope Doug can finish his video documentary this year, so watch this space for the True Story

What ....bitter ....me! nah
