REQ: Hovercraft, Southampton
Darleydale:
Hi All
I winder if someone could help me identify the Canadian Coast Guards Hovercraft on the slip at Griffon Hovercraft please? I saw her there yesterday alongside H193 which I believe is Indian.
On the fan of the Canadian vessel was printed CFN 6498.
Many thanks
Gordon

Canadian Coastguard appear to only have 2 hovercraft Mamilossa and Sipu Muin. See http://www.marinfo.gc.ca/en/anotresujet/flotte.asp . I have photographed Mamilossa and that is CFN 5305 so I guess 6498 is Sipu Muin.
Have subsequently found if you Google CCGS Sipu Muin there are videos etc. You might spot the number.
Darleydale:
Hi Chas
Many thanks for your kind help on this one.
All best wishes

Sorry chaps - have a look at FleetMon and you will see that Sipu Muin (callsign CHCGA) is currently at Trois Rivieres, CA this evening! (Wednesday 19th June)
If you also look closely at the one at Merlin Quay, until recently at least, she still hadn't had her skirt fitted as she is still in build.
She has come up on AIS on occasions,so when she does start test flights, hopefully we will get to know about it!
Hopefully someone will be able to provide further information in due course.
Darleydale:
Hello Paul
Many thanks for your help. I will keep my eye on the AIS.
All best wishes
Gordon
