A nice weekend away and a trip to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum at Gosport. It was yukky weather (sort of ideal really as there was plenty inside) and we spent the day there. The museum was great. We had a guided tour of HMS Alliance, a look round Holland I, the X-craft, chariots, and lots of very interesting bits and pieces. 
Above is HMS Alliance, completed in 1947 and designed for use in the Far East. Below - inside Holland I, the Royal Navy's first submarine, comissioned in 1901, she was decomissioned in 1913 and lost during the tow to the scrapyard.
