Colin Hamilton – Depth Charge trials

We did lots of trials.

Simon: So, what does that feel like having a depth charge?

Well it … the submarine vibrates but it’s not an experience like you see in, have you ever seen  ‘Das Boot’?

Simon: I haven’t, no.

It’s a fantastic film. Well, it’s not like that. It’s quite gentle really.

Simon: It’s more sort of pressure on the outside of it is it?

Yes, well you drop three. One either side and one on the top. That’s the theory and then they implode the submarine.
