[Elecraft] plexiglass

"Habbakkuk"- and yes, it was built with Pyecrete.  A model of the real
   thing was built at Patrica Lake in Canada.  The most useful purpose
   would have been to bridge the "Mid-Atlantic Gap", but by the time
   the thing could have been built, aircraft range had increased, and
   escort carriers had been built, to make it moot.

   Aha that sounds like Pycrete! Fine wood fibers, mixed with water to  
   make a slurry, and frozen. Interesting stuff, read up on it if you  
   want to be entertained! 73 de Alex NS6Y.
