This week we had the pleasure of welcoming James and his class from Priory School after James was named the winner of our Hovercraft Drawing Competition! 🎨🏆

His winning design was chosen by a panel of Hovertravel pilots, and the class enjoyed a tour of the hovercraft followed by a hovercraft flight across the Solent.

Congratulations, James! 👏
