Midget Submarines
On the sandbank of Aberlady Bay lie the remains of two midget submarines from the second World War. The following summary report of her research into the vessels, particularly vessel A, during 2004 and 2005 was kindly made available to the Society by the author, Alison Boutland, who should be credited in citations. The Society was later gifted a film recording of aircraft ‘attacks’ on the vessels in 1946 to test new aircraft munitions. We are exploring how best to share this film archive.
