WIG's

[Kereru]

WIG's strange looking craft that fly in ground effect. A Russian craft that the US spied on by satellite many years ago. They found out all they could and then it faded in to history or did it become a secret Lockheed project like so many that have before? Pure speculation on my part but still a fascinating craft.

Ah, they called them the Caspian Seamonster from memory.

These thinsg were featured on one of the latter series of Beyond 2000 - great series, I wish they'd bring it back. I recall then they said that they were planning much larger versions to be built to transport civil passengers across the oceans. They were going to take thousands of people from memory.
