Kuno Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) The British had the idea to test their Hoovercraft in the desert of Libya :idea: This must have been a British idea :yay: --- SRN.5 was driven from TOBRUK/ELADEM down to GIARABUB and the published report describes this testtrip as a good success Although they could not enter the sandsea as planned orginally and although each trench which was wide enough caused the craft to crash in the opposite embankment :-D The solution proposed was that the choosen route shall be inspected best by helicopters or Landrovers (another British invention which has a good & tough image although such does not match the reality) and marked consequently :coffee: But the testing of such vehicle must have been really fun: ENDLESS DESERT :clap::clap: Edited August 14, 2008 by Kuno2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
