Its too far for me......good luck though.

Hey, back in the early 1970's one of the universities (in India) built a full sized hovercraft. The student became a professor years later teaching hovercraft related topics. Do you have any pictures of this old hovercraft by any chance?

I'll post it in a section of the Hovercraft Club of America, it' may be of interest to our educators. I'll also post an FYI in the UK forum so they know what you are up to.

I don't think anyone is going to travel to India, but you might end up with some helpful comments on certain projects/entries.
