Found some old pictures of some of the Great Phantoms from some years ago

[Ciao]

It’s good, so long as you wrap up warm -even in a heat wave!! (Very cold gaff!)

John Yeoman’s Unicart…sorry Unipart is there.

Derrick Mortimer’s 3B 85 World Championship winning Stapley mono

David Hagan’s Apache plus loads of other stuff...

Problem was I didn’t find a bar - so I thought that was a serious omission in a powerboat leisure experience!

Right, now you need to bare with me here, are you the John Moore Jnr who used to race with Peter Wilson in the 17 Argo, or am I way off track?

[Captain Chaos]

Were you interested in the type of boats you'd find in a museum, or were you expecting to see 2.5 EFI's & Bernico's?

[Atlantic Xpat]

Oh yes, I can see you lot at "Bas Vegas" aka the Festival Leisure park, Basildons 'premier' entertainment area. More Chavscum per square metre than anywhere else on the planet

Never been inside the museum as it was shut the one time we thought of visiting. Its not a very inspiring location.

I plead guilty as charged to the above.

[Jon Fuller]

Right, I'm up to speed now!

How ya doing?

( i remember you standing up in the back of Peters Argo whilst racing at Bournmouth and causing a few raised eyebrows from the officials! )

[Ciao]

I used to get terrible cramp sitting in that thing, and found a walk around would ease it up somewhat!

But seriously there was a good reason for that, the fuel pump broke before the start, so we attached a bulb to it, I then had to hand squeeze the petrol through for the next 1 1/2 hours…you know I’m sure that Adam came up with that solution!

Always try to be helpful!

Has anyone got any pics of Gina Campbell Phantom 25 Agfa Bluebird

[Ciao]

From the collection! There were some great stories about Gina etc...another day....

[Jon Fuller]

and the third post on this thread

[Ciao]

The only one of it going!...its in Guernsey now isnt?

[Jonnyboy]

Thanks, How about the 25 she had after that.

Thanks
John

[Jon Fuller]

I think those two pics are different boats

[Ciao]

Yes they are..

The dark blue one sold to Andy Chambers and became Go Guernsey.

Gina must have sold the above late 86 cause she navigated in 1.3 L in 87.

Seem to remember that Gina's Kiwi driver..Graham ..I think of the 2nd boat complaining to me that it had been built too light

Jonny do you think Charle Burnet ran it in 92?

[Jon Fuller]

I may be wrong, but I thought that when Charlie destroyed the 4 litre cat (ex Hospitalty Inns Cougar) Howard Wretham slid him into the P25 as a quick fix, and it came new from Steve, but as I say, could be wrong.

[Ciao]

That Cougar was quick wasn’t it? On its debut Geoff blew everything away! Neil didn’t even see him all race!
There was TV footage of CB delaminating at high speed I seem to recall.
