Submersible A very early club project was the construction of a submersible from a Hastings bomber aircraft drop fuel tank. This started in 1969 but was
not completed until 1971. It operated on a buoyancy only control system
that proved difficult to handle. On it's first dive it managed both an uncontrollable crash dive followed by an equally uncontrollable buoyant ascent. It was declared unsafe and later sunk in the reservoir where it has
remained since. It's depth is around 14m.
