[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Yup. And the customer stiffed us on the final payment... He named it, Sea Turtle. I have slides of it somewhere here. What we built for this jerk was a proof-of-concept type prototype. I think this is the same semi-submergible you saw in that article.

Ellie was not amused! We tightened up our vetting process after that butt-****ing!

Found some negatives of that job. Over 25 years ago. May have been partially the inspiration for that camera-drone seen in the movie, Hunter Killer.

The one in the article only had a single hull similar to the one you posted earlier.

On the credits he’s listed as Nellie Drone operator. He got a trip out to Bulgaria where they did a lot of the location shots. Page 22- https://kfd.kinepolis.be/wp-content/...otes_Final.pdf

Dennis is alive and well and still in the game. Still raising hell with his PT boat and amphibian.

Thanks David. That amphibious model he ran at Trashmore back in the 90s was an awesome model. I often wondered if he still had it and ran it.
