What does one do with a hovercraft?

Hover, I guess. But where?

I live right next to Newhaven harbour. I'm particularly looking forward to running across the Firth of Forth to Anstruther for fish'n'chips - slipway this side, beach t'other side. Picnics on Inchmicky/Inchcolm (islands in the FoF) are kinda appealing too.

In a related development, Knockhill are going to let me take the little F3 craft round for a lap during the lunch break of the June race meet. Automatically guaranteed a lap record, and only 2,000 people or so to make a fool of myself in front of!

What the legalality of such things? Can you just park it up on a public beach?

I’ve never seen one in real life before, which suggests that their quite annoying to own? But I have no idea

I’ll be impressed if you can maintain the racing lines and hit your apexes :lol:

Marvellous thing to be able to do though!
