Hey Guys
On Saturday the Hovercraft Museum had its open day, and this time it was actually nice weather for a change
The museum itself has been shuffled around quite a bit since the last time I went, and there were less space to look around this time too. The Princess Anne was open with her starboard passenger compartment open, as well as a lot of the vehicle deck, which had some hovercraft inside. the princess Margaret had her bow door open as well, although you could only go to the top of the ramp. The Passenger door was open although it appeared to be blocked of by cones. The Top Gear Hovercraft has was there too
here are some pics from the day, some more can be found
