Now my gf says it would make a good pool skimmer?

:D

If I remember correctly it was supposedly designed to exert a very low ground pressure so as not to damage fragile crops when weed spraying etc. I think it retained its normal roadwheels beneath all that skirting.

That's what i read Mr. Axle....but i can't understand how that might work?

Check out the mod of the door bottoms...no expense spared...!

:D

I wonder how those fragile crops coped with the massive tornado created by the Hovercraft fans?
Bill.

Not to mention being run over by the roadwheels...lol...

Vickers can and did build nuclear bombers for the RAF you would think they could get it right this time...

:D

Speaking of hoovers and the mighty lucas company - I believe they did once build a vacum cleaner. Seemingly, it was the only product they ever build that did'nt suck.

har har.
boom boom.

ok. I'll leave quietly.

Just who brought up the "Prince of Darkness" ?..lol...is Vickers somehow related? anyone wishing to view a video of the Hover Rover you might try this link:
