Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
Ok, getting tight now. looking good though.
It isn't Orange!!!!!!
The other one wasn't Purple either!!!
One of the new ones will probably be green, very green.
Another new one is green too but not as green as the previous one. Still pretty green. No, now it's Blue.
The other new one will be white with stripes. Actually it might not. No, it will be.
BUT, that one is definitely Yellow :=}

Made it to Tatton. Great show too!
Only the one door seal but everything else securely stuck/screwed/bolted on. Lots of kind comments.
Thankyou PaulB!!!!!

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
Another interesting FRW picture surfaced:
FRW 799L with its badges taped off... where the Dolomite 135 badges still fitted??
The picture is for sale at ebay (no connection)

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
Slightly OT. Never been on a hovercraft, once the fastest way to cross the channel are any still in commercial service? I'm not sure even the Isle of Wight one runs any more.

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
About 20 years ago, my wife and I did a cross channel hovercraft crossing on an enormous one with 4 big propellers.SprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 9:26 am Slightly OT.

The crossing was quite rough and we spent quite a lot of time in the air: it was very much like being on a plane and it was only when looking out of the window you realised you were still generally on the sea!
Hell of a feat of engineering considering it had cars, trucks and buses in it!
Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

Re: Look what my lovely husband has got for me!
There is still a commercial hovercraft service to Ryde from Southsea, I think it takes about 9 minutes.
