Ian Moore – Visiting a mouldy Dolphin

So, it was really sad to actually pay a visit to Dolphin a couple of years back and went to the Tank top and the Tank has all been switched off and all the heating is off and it’s full of growth and mould and goodness knows what else and it’s all looking in a very sorry state for itself and things, but at the end of the day.

The Tank itself features really prominently in a movie, ‘Above Us the Waves’ and there’s a section in there where it shows guys going through the Tank, and that’s John Mills and the attack on the Tirpitz up in one of the fjords in Norway, and it was all about their training on the ‘X’ Craft.

Good movie, ‘Above Us the Waves’.

You want to see how the Tank actually works properly, watch that movie.

It’s got a good section in there about … and they actually go through the Tank itself, and they show the Swim Boys all the way through it.

And those guys that were actually shown in that, they were serving Submariners.
