A few years back, Stagecoach looked at the possibility of running a passenger Hovercraft across the Firth of Forth between Fife and Edinburgh. They put on a week of trials, so I went down to go for a trip. Unfortunately, the queue was so long I had to forgo that pleasure, but I did manage to get a couple of interesting shots of the beast. It was a BHT130, and here are a couple of shots of it, off the Kirkcaldy shore.

Nice Photos John, takes me back to travelling across the Solent to that well known Tax Haven we call the Isle Of White and to France on the Motorbike on its big brother.

Great shots John. I only ever saw one, in Doug territory, running off the beach in Portsmouth. Noisy beggar.
