Just heard on IWRadio that a blind charity worker is due to pilot a Hovercraft across the Solent at 3.15pm today.
Colin McArthur is hoping that his flight across the water between Ryde and Portsmouth today will raise awareness for Retinitis Pigmentosa, as well as funds for research into the condition which he was struck with twenty years ago.
He will be guided through the traffic of tankers, ferries and other obstacles by one of HoverTravel’s pilots.
For more info on the condition, check out the The British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society website.
