Swedish Navy Hovercraft 303.
I captured this image of the Swedish Hovercraft 303 as she was crossing the Solent Southampton in March 2007. I subsequently learnt that she was built for the Swedish Navy by Griffon Hoverwork Limited (GHL) a specialist hovercraft builder based at Hythe Southampton. I now presume that when I saw her she was under test before being handed over to her new owner. I do not know how many such craft were built for the Swedish Navy but I have photographs of a sister vessel numbered 304.
