Week 747 - U boat Torpedo Guidance System

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Transition Liverpool Gathering – Creating Circularity in our Community

Sanna is running an event for Transition Liverpool on Saturday 4th October. She’s asked if DoES Liverpool would like to have a table. Please get in touch if you’d like to display stuff on the day – it’s a good opportunity to promote what we do. You can find out more about the event here.

• Adrian McEwen:The Enigma machine continued to be just that (as D didn't fancy walking through town carrying it), but we got to see this insteadIt's the guidance system for a torpedo from a German uboat. Apparently a prototype of a new (for the tail end of the war) development, and it the only one known to exist.
