      It was a Holland type.

      But whose?

      And for 20 points and control of the board - who was the Captain?

        OK, I guess you're stumped although it didn't seem all that hard to me. Here's one last clue. This is a picture of the Captain and his wife in their later years.

            You have done well my son. It's the Austro-Hungarian U5 based on a Holland design,

            Here's a picture of the Captain (I believe he's the one inside the skirting) on the U5....Click image for larger version

              Aha! We have a lot of budding grasshoppers here! Maybe we need to promote on sub recognition, rather than post counts?
