German S-Boat being restored using footage found by maker
« on: August 14, 2010, 08:08:16 AM »
This is a pretty cool story. I don't know of any other patrol boats that have been restored and were able to have the footage of the actual boat they were trying to restore. Apparently this footage shows the boat under construction and on trials.
