Another Submarine

came as a shock to those who didn't know that filming was taking place on site based on Robert Harris's best-selling novel "Enigma"as adapted by Sir Tom Stoppard: the Executive Producer is Mick Jagger.
The models are 24ft high and 52ft long and are very realistic as these pictures, taken by our "Lookout" Ron, GØWFC show.
As filming is now completed Mr. Jagger and Christine Large (the Trust Director) have agreed that the sub will be used as the basis for a new exhibition detailing the true story of the capture of secrets from German submarines.
