Wonderful documentary!! 😃

Great video about a topic for which I think it’s pretty hard to find footage of. My interest i hydrofoils started about 50 years ago. I spent the summer holidays of my childhood in a small and simple cabin at the Oslofjord (Norway) and watched in fascination the hydrofoils that passed several times a day on their way to or from Oslo. By now I know they were Supramar PT20’s. One of them, with an orange hull, can be seen in this video. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to travel with these hydrofoils. However, the summer of 1982, I visited a hobby shop in Munich and stumbled over a radio controlled model made by Japanese company Gunze Sankyo. I couldn’t afford it back then, but found an unused sample on eBay some years ago. A little bit of research made me identify it as a Supramar PT50. Being a Japanese model, probably based on a real boat manufactured by Hitachi. With that I’ve come full circle, as I worked for Hitachi Automotive from 2005 to 2008. The world is small!

Thankyou.
