Stolen Hovercraft

[sixpackpert]

I am posting this on here for a friend as many more people use this site than the Hovercraft site forum. Any info much appreciated, second time they've been knicked this year!!

Cheers

Folks, unbelievably, the three Flying Fish craft have been stolen again, just three months after getting them back following the last theft.

They were taken last night (Monday September 11th) from Dover. The thieves broke into a car that was blocking them in, moved a load of other stuff, including a trailer with no wheels that was obstructing them - and took the whole lot away.

Theres three craft on a yellow triple trailer. All GRP single seat Flying Fish with 22bhp Briggs & Strattons.

Colours as follows
Green with orange skirt
Yellow with blue trim
Purple with blue trim.

The green one can be seen in this pohoto - and this is the trailer - tho it no longer has the graphics on the side I believe.



If you see or hear anything, please let me know on 07970 930998. Reward for information leading to recovery.

Thanks

Cheeky bastards.

They won't get very far in terms of selling 'em. The hovercraft community world wide knows each others craft and where they come from.

It's like stealing a personalised car!

Did they ever turn up?

[sixpackpert]

Not yet, they're either out of the country or, like before, in someones barn while they work out how to get rid of them.

Here's hoping they'll turn up again.

Hope it gets back safe and sound!

I've made the topic a sticky!

I spotted a similar one being trailered north up the A23 out of Brighton about 3 weeks ago (I took down the reg but cant find the bit of paper). White and green and IIRC black skirt. It was being pulled by a little old VW camper being driven by an old couple. It was on a bespoke (single) trailer, had racing decals on it and looked nice and muddy. Dont think its one of yours?

I wanted to post the spot at the time but couldnt find the thread

[sixpackpert]

Nope doesn't sound like one of them, but thanks for keeping your eyes peeled, much appreciated.

Cheers
