Very nice close-up pictures of Biber midget submarine taken at the Deutches Technikmuseum in 2012 from the IPMS Stockholm site.

Hi SG
 
Nice catch, wonder if Natter has anything to do with this?

Perfect pix, great stuff. Imagine getting in one...surrounded only by thin steel and the cold ocean

If you are reffering to me, the answer is no (I am not swedish...) ;-)

Not my idea of a good time!  :( Most of those crew died from CO poisoning. Seeing how the engine is just behind the crew seat, I can see why now! :o
Thanks for the photos! I am going to do a Biber build soon.  And I can use these for reference.
Regards,
Dan

I have some reference-material/photos, and a Biber (+ 2 Marders) available for measurements at work.

Currently, there are less than 70 remaining WW2 german submarines (regular and midgets) in the world, and we have 10 of them in Norway: 7 Bibers and 3 Marders. And yes: 3 of those are on display at the naval base where I work (btw: Who do one talk to in here, to have the forum-rank raised to match real life..?? ;) ).

I better keep posting then...

The Biber we have here is a little unusual: It was used for diving trials in the 50's and were fitted with extra tanks for ballast and/or buoyancy.
