Some years ago, our founder Tim Oulton purchased three
decommissioned PAP 104 MK5 submarines from the Royal Navy. Their
unique provenance and cultural relevance resonated strongly with
Tim as truly daring and authentic pieces of history. Designed by
Timothy Oulton Studio, our Yellow Submarine is a fibreglass replica
of the original working submarine, steeped in stories of the deep
blue sea and at once breathtakingly playful and audacious. Adding a
touch of theatrical flair, our submarine is housed in its own
custom fish tank.
Available to view at our Bluebird gallery in London.
Can be shipped worldwide.
A nod to the Oulton family's military background as well as a love of British rock and roll, referencing the iconic track by The Beatles.
A PIECE OF HISTORY
First introduced in the 1950s, the PAP minesweeper submarine was
known technically as an ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle).
The submarine operates by means of a guide-rope, steered remotely
to navigate through the water and identify the mines via camera or
sonar. The mine is then destroyed by a controlled explosion or by
severing the mooring cable. PAP vehicles are still in service with
around 20 navies across the globe.
Keelin was wonderfully helpful and had great patience with me during my visit. I will return. Thank you.

Worked with Anaisa to identify the correct TO product range so I could extend a sofa I purchased in 2020. I had no info on the sofa & I’d bought it through Sofa Workshop so TO couldn’t help with order details. Through photos, measurements & a couple of phone calls, I’m pleased to

I love the Timothy Oulton furniture and find it to be design forward, without sacrificing comfort. The shop on Kings Road sparks inspiration in their displays and the Timothy Outlon team, particularly Rachel, are excellent ambassadors of the brand - knowledgable and interested to
