Prime Minister Glides On Water In Aquada

This morning the Prime Minister glided across the sea in the Aquada. The Aquada is a re-invention of the great hovercraft concept but without the nifty space age look. The development of the Aquada was financed by businessman Alan Gibbs. Luckily for the Prime Minister the Aquada looked more likely to stay afloat than Mr Gibbs venture into broadcasting in the mid 90s – Lindsay Perigo's Radio Liberty [aka BBC World Service].
