Hi Jaorsa,

These two photos of U 99 show the area you want.





Please note the doors are in the open position.

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Javier,

I don't remember a photo of an early VII which shows the vavles clearly. It would certainly be useful! Perhaps you can try searching for photos of U 995? This area will be visible in some U 995 photos.

Cheers,

Dougie

U-995


U-970


I added my drawing if you need the spacing of the ribbing.

One thing I have always wondered about is the number of vent opening, 3 or 4 :-\ U-99 is a VIIB, U-995 is a VIIC/41 and U-950 is a VIIC. Maybe all the VIIC/41 and the late war VIIC only had 3 vents. Any thoughts anyone ???
