Design Hovercraft Kenilworth Pupils


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable achievement of Kenilworth Schools Abbey Hall, where pupils and staff came together to build a fully functional hovercraft. Inspired by a hovercraft competition, the school embarked on this ambitious project that took an impressive nine months to complete. In this snapshot from 20th May 1983, we witness the proud moment as Russell Mountjoy, just 13 years old at the time, skillfully drives the magnificent machine. Accompanying him on this exhilarating ride are his fellow classmates Carol Johnson and Rachel James, both also aged 13. Ensuring stability and providing support for their daring adventure are Kevin Watson and Nick Heddon on the left side of the craft, while Daryl Hammon stands ready on its right. These capable individuals were all 16 years old during this memorable endeavor. This image not only showcases innovation but also highlights how education can inspire young minds to push boundaries and achieve extraordinary feats. The dedication displayed by these students and their mentors is truly commendable. Transport yourself back to the vibrant atmosphere of the 1980s with this nostalgic photograph that encapsulates design excellence in education. This Memory Lane Print serves as a testament to Kenilworth School's commitment to fostering creativity and ingenuity among its pupils.
