Adam Elsdon Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) I have spent quite a bit of time trawling through Aden pictures (My father served out there with the Coldstream Guards) everything i have seen is either sand or sand and black. Here is a link with stacks of photos some in colour all to do with Aden! http://news.webshots.com/album/209684866ijMtqE?start=0 Edited August 3, 2008 by Adam Elsdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivor Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 How did the idea come about,did you need an engineers report for insurance etc.where are you launching in pics.:cool2: The idea came from Goeff who had a duck for years, he was moving house and had to sell because of space. He has been around the amphib scene for years and still wanted a "floater" so we used the duck as a base for the ideas. He told me what he was after and we made it up as we went along, sort of evolved. It is mot'ed and insured as a land rover. we get a river permit and launch at Naburn near York.
