Seadog Posted 24 December , 2010 Share Posted 24 December , 2010 Not my collection (unfortunately!) but a part of the display in the Hooge Crater Museum, Menin Road, Flanders. I like the big one at the bottom with the fins!! If you have the time take a peep at this lot: Flickr photoset Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
