Work has begun to remove hazardous waste, old oils and kerosene from both craft.
Contractors working for HCA began the work yesterday, with technical support from Hovercraft Museum staff.
This is an important step towards us being able to secure one of the craft for the nation at the Museum although we can’t be more specific than this at the moment – stand by for further updates soon!
UPDATE: Approx 4000L of 16year-old kerosene, contaminated with stagnant water, was successfully removed from the craft.
