The cover from "Strike from Beneath the Sea: A History of Aircraft Carrying Submarines" by Terry C. Treadwell

Oh the ideas....

QuoteI think Thor's built something similar to that one. The aircraft on the crane that is, not the sub.

Do you mean the P.1216? Yes, that would be so nice to have supersonic twin-boomers in our skys and over our seas...

Skyhook equipped subs... sweet!!

I don't know how large the P.1216 was supposed to be, but even if it's no larger than a Harrier, that's one BIG sub!

I've got a brochure on Skyhook if anyone wants/needs further info for diorama purposes (another goodie caught on Echo Bravo).

I think Thor should build one to go along with his bird....

Thank you for the picture, Proditor! That's amazing!!

Did you have other pictures present in the book?? It isn't available in France

(By the way, I just read your signature, Proditor, and I'm very impatient to see you F-112, F-23s, F-16H etc...

)

For Elmayerle, the brochure of course interest me

Everything about P.1216 is interresting!!

proditor · November 04, 2005, 08:54:07 PM

Unfortunately not, I don't have the book. I saw the pic on an image board and immediately snagged it.

As to the armada, I think I have to call my cable provider. They told me two weeks till I got my camera and it's been, well almost 3 now.

The brochure has some ship concepts as well as lots of good detail on the Skyhook. Actually, I've got two brochures, a small marketing one and then a more in-depth one. I'll try and scan them when I can and post the scans, most likely low-res ones and then I'll do high-res ones for those that want 'em.
