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!!!!! :smooch:

Its strange that the reg numbers and chassis numbers got mixed up a bit although looking at it some missing ones would seem to fall into place.

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.

About 20 years ago, my wife and I did a cross channel hovercraft crossing on an enormous one with 4 big propellers.

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!

There is still a commercial hovercraft service to Ryde from Southsea, I think it takes about 9 minutes.
