Paul, the three M1 subs were actually built on K Class hulls already laid down. What do you want to know?

Didn`t Paul Freshney have an article about his model about 2 or 3 years ago?

Bob……….I`m guessing really

I was browsing a model catalogue about a month ago and I`m sure I was looking at the M1 and remember the nice quality of the build in the magazine……………and it was built by Paul Freshney

Why don`t you ask him?…NOW !

Want some bread with those words?

This is news to me I didnt know that there had been three of them as I only know of the one that was sunk by SS Vidar in 1925 whilst on exersises in the channel. I am specifically interested in the one that sank.

Hi Paul, M2 was converted to a seaplane carrying sub after the war and M3 into a minlelayer. M1 was apparently re-discovered off Start point in1999 by Innes McCartney who wrote an Osprey title on WWI subs in which there’s a picture of M1 wearing her late war camouflage scheme.

The story of the M1 was on TV some months ago…….in fact it was never off!

You can probably get a DVD on the subject now…….Try Nauticalia in Chester

Any interest in the M15?

Time for bed now?……No not me…..You!

Hi All,

The TV program was repeated on the History channel last week. I was channel hopping at the time and just caught the end of it.

I think you will find that John Lambert has done several drawings of submarines including the M1. If I remember correctly these were to accompany articles published in Military Modelling magazine back in the Seventies.

Hello Bob

I can’t find the information that I am looking for, namely a set of plans/blueprints, on the web which is why I have turned to the massed resource of our membership.

Like everyone else I have seen the tv programme documenting the discovery of the wreck which whilst it was a very absorbing story gave very little usable information.

I shall continue my hunt.

Hello Grumpy

Thank you for the John Lambert lead, I have found a copy of his drawing on a web site and have downloaded it into my CAD programme so now I can make a set of building templates.

Thanks again

Hi Paul,

Last night I had a root through some boxes of old magazines and I turned up the articles by John Lambert. There was a series of six on British submarines in 1976 and it included both the M class and the K class. It seems the M class used K class hulls.

If it is of any use to you I can let you have copies of the articles. PM me if you want them.

Regards

Hello Vinnie

Thanks again for the message and your help in pointing me in the right direction. I now have a set of drawings that I can convert to CAD.

Cheers

Dear All

Alas the sectional drawing of the M1 that I downloaded has pixilated on the CAD programme so I am stuck again.

Has anyboby got or knows of a set of engineering drawings for the "M" class of submarine or even a drawing of the "K" class which I might be able to adapt.

Can you help with information on Military Modelling back in the 70s (I know its before you were born) Grumpy posted a lead relating to the M1 as follows

Hi Paul,

You have obviously not read my earlier post.

I have now found the original magazine articles for the M Class and the K Class.

I can scan these and send you copies if you can let me have your e-mail address.

I aslo have a the paperback book on the K Class submarines which I bought at a car boot sale but that is a bit on the large side to scan.

Regards

Grumpy
