Specificly at the Hovercraft Museum. Normal drill is can bring cars onsite, including onto the only remaing cross channel hovercraft. There is a cafe and lots to see. Would be a Sat of our choosing.
So my lights were doing strange things, I've popped it off and cleaned with contact cleaner. All looks good now, before I started it was all smothered in grease. Should I put some back? What type?
So I was sorting out the rear brakes on the 2.5 Estate after an MOT failure and made the mistake of poking around while I was there. No mention of corrosion on the MOT failure, but now I have this:
Clearly some welding required, which is beyond me. I assume the solution is to cut out remaining corrosion and have a new section welded in. Can anyone give me an idea of what I should be paying before I start looking around for someone to do the work?
Can anyone recommend something they have used successfully on an Omega? I would like it to be useable on the Saloon and Estate, both have towbars so suspect to fit both that is going to have to be the mounting point.
Currently the last remaining two cross-channel hovercraft are sitting where they came to final rest at the Hovercraft Museum in Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. However, the museum does not own them, and as the recent culmination of a long running legal dispute between the owner for the last 16 years and the previous landowner, they have now become the property of the Homes and Communities Agency.
The HCA now wants to demolish these historic and iconic pieces of British transport heritage to make way for housing. The craft cannot be moved due to their size and because they have been neglected by their prior owner and have had their engines removed. Only one of the craft actually sits on an area where new buildings are to be built, and yet the HCA is intent on destroying both. The museum would love to take ownership and restore the one craft that would not affect the land set aside for development, the Princess Anne, to its former (but non-operational) state for the benefit of the nation.
But their hands are tied. The HCA has given them only a day to come up with a workable proposal. This is not enough time to develop a sensible plan.
