Hi Nobby,

U 503 was adopted by the City of Braunschweig.

Reds going strong this year, aren't they.

Nobby,

you better try to get an up-dated map of Europe. Quite a lot of territorial changes over the last 100 years! Anyway, for a British citizen it will become much easier soon. Just say you go to visit Europe! :lol:
