Other than this is in the Isle of Man motor museum, I can't tell you anything useful about this hovercraft - other than it is seriously cool*.
Building a model hovercraft has always been on my radar, but they are horribly technical things. You spend more time worrying about weight distribution than details. After all, you want the model to work, not just looks good.
Then there is the small matter of controlling the thing. Hovercraft don't work like boats, you have to plan your steering ahead of when you want to change direction. Despite this, I've always fancied having a go in a small one...
And yes, that is an Amphicar in the background. This place is amazing.
*as if I would be any judge of this.
