X Craft Treatment 2

Two wrecks of XT-craft, training versions of the X craft can be seen in Aberlady Bay – in 1946, the craft were towed to the bay, then moored to a concrete block and used for target practice by aircraft of the Royal Air Force.

 

The wrecks of the submarines lie much closer to the low-water mark than the high-water mark and tides in the bay rise very quickly – those wishing to examine the wrecks should thus take note of the tides and leave plenty of time to return to the shore from the wrecks. Ideally get to the wrecks an hour before low tide and leave before the tide turns.
