I wondered whether the LCVP which sank in the middle of the lake was planned or a bit of transmitter finger trouble.

I hope the they managed to find and recover it 8O

The sunk lcvp was an accident. If I remember, it was because a problem with the front door. The cable was broken and water comes inside. The weight of water+ a dozen of figures sank the lcvp...

You can see the pictures when we search the lcvp. I am in the "boat" and Gilles in the lake to search his lcvp.

I see you are in Rennes?? I l moved to Treffieux, La Mulnais, close to Chateaubriant during 2010/2011. I had all of my tanks and a boat with me. :(

If I had known that there were people in the area I would have made contact, the house is now sold , and I moved back to the UK.

This is unfortunate. If one day you come back for holidays, don't hesitate to stop here. :thumbup:
