Remember back in June when I was snooping around that old abandoned house in my neighborhood and musing about Elvis? Well, in that house I also uncovered this rather odd artifact: an old crumpled piece of paper trumpeting a hovercraft demonstration at the British Pavilion at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Now I know this may only interest die-hard hovercraft aficionados such as Shipley and myself, but hovercrafts are really just too awesome to pass up. Here’s a clipping and the scanned paper. Most farmers I know have not yet hopped onto the hovercraft bandwagon… just yet. Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.
