Default Three Hovercraft Stolen from Dover, Kent

Folks

Knowing what a perceptive bunch you all are, I'm posting this here becuase, well, things are a bit desperate.

Last night (Monday September 11th), my dad had three single seat, corporate hovercraft taken from outside his workshop in Whitfield, 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. They really wanted them. Strange, its a small hobby and the things are unique, easily dentified and attract huge amounts of attention. In fact, if you see three hovercraft on a trailer - it IS them!

Theres three craft on a blue. All GRP single seat Flying Fish with 22bhp Briggs & Stratton engines.

Colours as follows

Green with orange skirt
Yellow with blue trim
Purple with blue trim.

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

Thanks

Russ

Scum

Just goes to show, if they want something, they'll get it no matter what. Hope you get them back. Think more likely if they turn up for sale, or are used at events, a like minded individual will find them for you.

The Police will be p1ssing in the wind.

Any pics ?

Pics would be a good idea, but you can't help thinking that they're so unique, you'll know what they are when you see them!

I had a number of jetskis a few years ago and was always worried about theft. Were they datatagged??

That the kiddy. The one you've linked to there (the green one) was the one driven by JK in the Jamiroquai '7 Days in Sunny June' video last year...

Sorry to hear they have been stolen Russ. I'll keep my eye out whilst on the motorways. Have seen them several times before but always when being towed by your Dad!
