Be a good bag for someone. I'm pretty sure I saw Thule in Rosyth 1961/62 parked up with more subs.

Be nice if it ended up in the SM museum.

They have quite a few there Waspie. I went to a Submariners funeral at Weymouth Crem. a couple of years ago and the coffin was draped with the Jolly Roger from one of the U Class boats during the war, the deceased (name escapes me now) had been given it after one patrol. I made sure that it wasn't going to be cremated but didn't have the neck to ask the family what they were going to do with it.

There's six WW2 ones in the submarine school at Raleigh, nicely framed and mounted on the wall, they're on loan from the museum.

There's even a copy of the JR from my last boat on the wall, from 2001 Middle East deployment before anyone starts
