Subs Please Check

 We have Crossrail officially open here, now, and a bus that used to go to Lewisham is now permanently re-routed to the Dome. On the plus side we have a few more choices from North Greenwich now, the downside its two buses to get to Lewisham, which sucks.

Anyway, The Submarine caper, a story where the Hardys search for lost artwork from WW2 in Germany, while guests of Gerhard Stolz, a German friend of Fenton Hardy. Written in German and translated by the Stratemeyer book series editor (there is a link on James Keelines site that says who wrote what, but mostly its 404'd now).

I kinda like this version of the Hardys here, Frank and Joe wisecracking and playing off one another. Whilst bombing around the German countryside in Fenton's mate's Porsche. Also its seems the places are real for once, note Bad Waldsee actually exists and is not just a made up place. 

The sub in this case is a minisub that is being built by a small company that has its plans stolen and later on actually stolen and used to search for the missing paintings. Also weirdly enough the boys drink cider in a cafe, out in the sticks. Pretty sure they're not supposed to as it is alcohol.  

Anyway you can read this version Here
