35 - The man who owns a Soviet submarine - a podcast by Ian Sanders

We talk with John Sutton who owns a Foxtrot class Soviet Submarine moored in the middle of the River Medway in Kent.

This may seem an unlikely location for a Soviet submarine but John tells an interesting story of how he acquired it.

So back to the episode, after viewing some of the photos of the sub listing in the river, with some trepidation I boarded a fast Javelin train at London St Pancras and within 30 minutes I was in Strood and I could see across the Medway the low silhouette of the Foxtrot.

We join the interview with John and I aboard his small launch in the middle of the River Medway.
