Sky 1

'Voyage to the bottom of the sea' often
showed the Flying Sub hitting the sea,
views shown from above AND below the
surface.

It also showed the Flying Sub docking
with Seaview on several occassions.

That was a model. In reality the sudden deceleration would probably
throw the pilot out of the windscreen - or turn him into strawberry
jam...

As for docking the Flying Sub was built for "flying" and as a "sub-
marine". The Sky part of Skydiver was built for flying and submerging -
I do not believe it had any ability to operate underwater without the
Diver portion. Also docking for the Flying Sub was a bit simpler than
reattaching Sky1 to Diver. All it had to do was position itself under a
large hanger in Seaview and rise up into it.

Barry

The easiest way to redock Sky 1 would be to have both either on the surface or just below at a dead stop. A couple divers attach lines and winch it back into the docking clamps. Done right it can be done in about 15 minutes with little or no problem. Ive actually seen something simular done while in the service so I know its possable. As to the deceleration a direct dive yes. a surface landing then a ballast dive is very possable.


You have reached the Psicorp. I know who you are. I know your phone number. I know what you want. Do not leave a message and I will get back to you.

Bit boring though for an Anderson show just sending out a couple of
divers and winching her back!

Dissagree there, it would be safer to descend both parts below the wave action, then re-connect. This would be at a depth of 50 feet or so, except for the most severe storms.

On a calm day a surface joining might work, but in rough seas???? You'd crunch a lot of divers. As a diver, who has seen lot's of both, it's simpler to drop below the wave surge & do the work down below.
