Even if yellow... tried to go inside one once, couldn't stay, I am very claustrophobic ! But nice to see it from outside, even if urgent need of any paint.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Xata club
I think they're planning to restore it a little before it gets its final spot in the museum. I doubt they're going to paint it yellow though... ;-)

I'm not claustrophobic, not yet, anyway!! If anything, then I'd hate to be among large crowds of people.

Yes, the S196 apparently brought beautiful weather along. And if it starts raining, people might just want to take shelter inside the submarine. It will no longer submerge ;-)

Thanks, Fred!

Irgendwie finde ich U-Boote ja faszinierend. Aber es wäre mir lieber, wenn sie nur zu Forschungszwecken und nicht als Waffen eingesetzt würden. HF(riedlichen) FF!

Dieses hier ist ganz friedlich, da es sich nach seiner restaurierung nur noch als exponat im technik-museum aufhalten wird :-)

Das sieht selbst von außen klaustrophobisch aus, gelbe Farbe würde es sicher freundlicher erscheinen lassen;-) Ich war mal als Kind in Laboe in dem U-Boot, das hat mir gereicht....

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Gudrun club
Ach, ich habe da kein problem mit klaustrophobie (siehe meine antwort an Isabel weiter oben).
Das u-boot wird ja schon noch ein bissle aufgehübscht bevor es offiziell im technik-museum ausgestellt wird. Gelb angestrichen wird es wohl nicht ;-))

Vielen dank, Gudrun, und dir auch eine schönes Pfingstwochenende!

Das könnte natürlich auch sein. Es hat in der zwischenzeit grünlichen rost angesetzt ;-)
Gelb angestrichen wird es sicher nicht mehr, aber ein bisschen aufpoliert wird es werden, bevor es im technik-museum zum offiziellen exponat wird.

Vielen dank, Christa!

Wish you a great Friday

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Don't worry, it's going to be an exhibit in a technics/engineering museum from now on. There you can safely go inside as it will stay firmly on the ground :-)
Any opportunity will do to make the Beatles sing :-))

Thank you, Roger!

This is fascinating Edna. How often do you get the chance to see a submarine out of the water? But it has little touches of yellow so it may well have been the original 'yellow submarine' :-))
Perhaps they should repaint it and have a copy of the LP sleeve artwork on it!!

I enjoyed the music - the only Beatles recording with Ringo singing that became a hit I believe!

HNQSYSFF and have a good weekend
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
You're right! I think this was my first time to see a submarine out of the water (not that I've frequently seen submarines in the water)!! ;-)
Well, it might be the yellow submarine indeed, your explanation sounds good. At least it's fun to imagine that it would be... ;-)

They're going to repaint the submarine before it will become an official exhibit at the museum. Yellow? LP sleeve artwork? I doubt it :-(

Well, after all Ringo had to sing at least once :-) He should have done it more often, perhaps with some voice training more of his singing recordings would have become hits ;-))

Thank you, Carol!
12 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you Edna. Well it would be a shame to miss an opportunity and it might have made it a more popular exhibit!!

It does seem strange that Ringo did not get to take the lead on many songs but he was given this one and it turned out to be one of their big hits!!

Have a good weekend
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
It sure would be ;-) Me being there? For sure it made it a more popular exhibit ;-)))

Yes, it is strange, and funny, that I never gave it much thought. At least Ringo succeeded with his singing once...that's better than not at all (to look at it from the pragmatic side) :-)

Thank you, Carol!

We have a nice yellow one at Liverpool! The curse of our sea's in WW2 with this class. I like to see the 60 (120+?) wheel transporter with this. Quite a heavy load no doubt. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend.
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Herb Riddle club
I'll bet you do! If not in Liverpool, where else? ;-)
I've added a PiP of the submarine plus wheel transporter. Most of the submarine's journey was on the Rhine, so that was the easier part.

Thank you, Herb!

Wahnsinn, du warst da als die Post kam?
Herrliche Bilder von einer grandiosem und aufwendigen Aktion des Technik Museums.
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Jean-Paul club
Ich war etwas später da und das war gar keine schlechte idee, denn als es ankam, war der platz mit leuten überfüllt. Am spätnachmittag waren dann schon weniger leute dort und man konnte gut fotografieren. Immerhin habe ich es geschafft, ein foto von diesem u-boot in seiner vollen länge zu machen, ohne dass mir weitere betrachter oder andere fotografen ins bild gelaufen sind ;-)

Die aktion war ja wirklich mega. Wäre aber auch zu schade gewesen, dieses faszinierende teil zu verschrotten. Seinen endgültigen platz wird es allerdings nicht in Speyer, sondern im Technik-Museum in Sinsheim finden, aber die beiden gehören ja eh zusammen.

Vielen dank, Jean-Paul!
12 months ago.
Jean-Paul club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Toll!
Manchmal zahlt Verspätung sich also aus :)
Dann muss ich ja noch irgendwann mal nach Sinsheim, wenn es seinen endgültigen Standort erricht hat.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Jean-Paul club
Sogar bei der DB. Da hatte der zug letztes jahr über eine stunde verspätung und ich habe die hälfte des fahrpreises erstattet bekommen :-)) Aber meine verspätung hier beim u-boot war ja absichtlich und wohl durchdacht ;-)

Ja, das lohnt sich...es soll irgendwann anfang nächsten jahres dort ausgestellt werden, sofern der restaurierungszeitplan eingehalten wird.

Vielleicht wird es ja noch yellow angemalt bevor es an seinem endgültigen standort im Technik Museum in Sinsheim landet? In Speyer wird es noch ein bisschen aufpoliert, ich bin ja schon mal auf das ergebnis nächstes jahr gespannt.

No not quite yellow, but a good excuse to hear lovely Ringo sing Edna :-))
Love the PiP! That must have been a slow journey. When I was in Liverpool
many years ago, I had a trip on the Mersey in what looked like a yellow submarine.
It was great and the captain was a John Lennon lookalike :-)) I love Liverpool!
Thank you for sharing this shot, as promised.

Happy HNQSYSFF and HFF. Have a great weekend.
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
That's exactly what I thought :-))
Well, most of the journey took place on the Rhine, so it was easier but still sort of slow.
How lucky you were...I've never been to Liverpool (yet)! And with a John Lennon lookalike captain, I'm sure your trip was extremely pleasant ;-))

Unfortunately the Wikipedia link is in German only (so much for the secret revealed), but I'm sure Google or DeepL would be delighted to help, if you wish :-D

Thank you, Rosa, and you too!

MaggsMep club
Well I was going to mention the yellow submarine but that would be labouring the point.

So I'll stick with my other choice; they should call the submariners sardiniers, as they're all squashed into a tin can. As a bit of a claustrophobic, I would rather remain on the outside of that tin can especially as those fences are see through!!

Fine image Edna, HFF, have a good w/e!
12 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to MaggsMep club
You're right, you've got to be more individualistic as so many people before you had mentioned the yellow submarine already (including myself) ;-))

Right now this not so yellow submarine is still being spiffed up a bit, I guess when it's ready for visitors it might very well be possible to see the inside, too. I wouldn't mind as I'm not claustrophobic, especially not in grounded submarines ;-)

Thank you, Maggie!

I agree! And it's going to be a fine museum exhibit (officially sometime next year) after spiffing it up a little. Yes, the transporter is almost as impressive as the sub itself ;-)

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Meister Buchen club
Das ist schade! :-( Es war ja an einigen orten entlang des Rheins zu sehen. Speyer war am nächsten für mich, deshalb also diese entscheidung. Und da war es ja auch schon angelandet und man konnte es in ruhe (also länger) betrachten als nur beim vorbeifahren. Obwohl es ja nicht mit hochgeschwindigkeit auf dem Rhein entlanggefahren ist ;-))

That's quite a heavy load to be transported! I counted 120 wheels in the trailer, plus 12 or 14 in the MAN. It will be interesting to visit it. I have a black submarine of the 1960's near where I live, but it's not yet ready for visits. The only one I visited was much smaller: "Vesikko" - the only German submarine of World War II that survived it. It can be visited in Suomenlinna (an archipelago in Helsinki Bay). Belated HFF, Edna!
11 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Dimas Sequeira club
Yes, you're right. And luckily it all worked out without any accidents! So when will your sub be ready for visits? This one here was just a preliminary visit right after its arrival. It will be fixed up and then tranported to another museum nearby (most likely sometime next year) where it's going to be shown as a permanent exhibit.

I've never been to Finland, so I missed the one you're talking about.

Thank you, Dimas!
