Classic Space Hovercraft

This vehicle obviously never saw service on the Moon but was used on other planets with thin atmospheres and low gravity. (We're not that daft at Llwyngwril Systems, we know hovercraft can't work in space!)

 

"But how can this be part of Febrovery?" I hear you ask, "This creation has no wheels!". This is actually a reconstruction, built by a Classic Space historical re-enactment group, 357 years after the hovercraft left service. It rests on 8 swivelling wheels, hidden under the bodywork. The sharp-eyed observer will also note that the fuel tanks on the front are, in fact, hollow.
