As a first outing the weather could have been better, but late October is not maybe the best time !After battling round to the hover museum from the Griffon works in Southampton,on Saturday, Jenny and her Dad decided to call it a day, and took the craft back by road.
But next day Sunday, they set off again and together with 7 other craft, including a big Griffon, hovered to Portsmouth harbour, had a tour round the harbour before returning to the Griffon works.
On the return journey she clocked up an 18 mile run at an average of 38knots, so she is well pleased.The pictures are of the road crossing to enter the Museum compound.

Nice little craft. Back in 1956 I too used this ramp up to the Daedalus gate in a land sea vehicle. In those days though it was in a DKW trundling down the slope to the Solent for Sea Air Rescue practice using Dragonfly and Whirlwind helicopters. One day I'll come and have a nostalgic look round the Museum.
I spotted this vehicle at sea this weekend just off Daedalus again! Very distinctive I have to say!! And perfect weather for it! Most envious!
