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].
