Thanks guys. Ive just read MY post and it must be clarified that ONLY  No 5 quote was in fact about KingFisher!
Nos 1+2+3+4 were ALSO JRs prospector. 
Ive already looked into Leysdown but am away September I am afraid.
Its a shame when holidays get in the way of Hovercrafting!
Sorry.  8)

That truly is a thing of beauty Nick. I hope to get to see it close up sometime. It would be great if you could make the long journey down to Leysdown in September.

Out of interest---------
1 You are MAGNIFICENT  8)
2 You should charge for this  :o
3 You ve made my day  :D
4 You ve made our YEAR  ;D
5 I had a Bugatti Veyron in my fuel station last week. BUT Your craft is THE BIZ  ???
Just some of the comments, all with thanks we received.
NOT ONE negative. Just miles of smiles and pictures being taken.
Hover craft are STILL a conversation stopper.
"Perhaps" NOT the dreadful things some authorities regard us as. ;)

Great news from the lean-to. The stbd fuel sender ceased to work at the end of the Scottish trips reading empty.
This has been remedied by placing fuel inside the tank.
Share this quick fix with your friends.  8)

Nick, That is one Boootifull craft you have there.

I have to agree tiz a thing of beauty indeed. I don't know about the "Admirals Cup" but you certainly deserve the "Admiration Cup".

Fast runnin out of moanin and a mingin.
I just need the driving  practise and then confidence will hopefully follow.
THREE years is a long time to generate misgivings, which will hopefully NOT last THREE years also!

That's really interesting and pleasing!!! Thanks John!
At 1.56 I apply the brakes and the four finger spray from the craft centre can be seen spraying out, nose drops and slows the craft. It is important to decrease lift also so the nose can drop and increase friction otherwise the big lift fan overrules the device, and you sail on stately as a galleon.  ???
