School & football isn't about who is the most popular or scores the most goals. Have good attitude. Be humble, respectful and working hard. For these two, its that plus being brave and resilient beyond their years. Assistant Head Pupil & Coaches Player of the Season. Proud Dad ๐Ÿฅน

Huge credit where its due - the @wightlinkferry shore staff on shift for the Wight Ryder 20.45 sailing from Ryde last night, and 05.15 from Portsmouth this morning, were absolutely amazing. VERY helpful indeed, so thank you! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Two absolute legends & gentlemen, who have been at the forefront of my development over the past months. Sad to see them go, happy retirement! Pete has completed 3 of my Type Rating/Line Checks and Steve 2, with the my 12000TD Type Rating being his last ever assessment ๐Ÿฅน
Last month, we marked the retirement of two of our longest-serving Captains ๐Ÿ‘ Pete and Steve have played a huge role at Hovertravel keeping our hovercraft flying and helping shape the wider industry ๐Ÿšค Thank you both. Travelled with them? Share your memories below ๐Ÿ’ฌ

I thought I'd be whoop dooping and doing cartwheels after achieving a 40yr dream but, quite frankly, I'm too shattered ๐Ÿ˜… The hardest 3 months of my life, and it continues to be now that the stabilisers are off. Never again will I be told that I can't multitask! ๐Ÿคฃ

Marvellous. I know someone who can doodle anything, to make it look even better or more interesting than it actually is. I mean, this IS interesting (to me) but I feel it needs doodling on ๐Ÿค”

The clocks have gone forward - hello spring โฐ๐ŸŒผ Weโ€™re looking forward to longer, lighter days, & from 28th March weโ€™ve added departures to our timetable: 19:15 from Ryde and 19:30 from Southsea. More daylight, more flexibility, more reasons to fly! ๐Ÿ”— hovertravel.co.uk

....what he said.
Those things were among the worst cargos we had to carry at sea. Couldn't use enough dunnage along the comical amount of 'Spanish windlass' to hold them from moving.
