    National Maritime Museum. Under the Sea exhibit in 2008

    I don't know what else they will have there. I did a check of this museum's website, it did not show anything on future (2008) exhibits.

    Sent an e-mail to a couple of Brit friends. There might be something exhibited about the Welfreighter and the SOE's unusual WWII "toys."

    Strange sub on show in Falmouth
    The National Maritime Museum will be displaying one of the UK's strangest submarines this autumn - the two-man home-made Marine Ranger.

    Labelled at the time of its launch by the press as 'the DIY submarine', the mini-sub was built by Cornwall man Keith Julian, from Penryn, and Mike Spencer and Steven Carter from Falmouth company Spencer Carter.

    The sub caused quite a stir when it first made an appearance in the 1970s and dived in Falmouth Harbour, off Plymouth and Oban in Scotland.

    Now the Marine Ranger is on display in the museum foyer, promoting the future 2008 exhibition Under the Sea.
