Will there be a MAIB into this - given its an amphibious vehicle?
Can't see them returning to the water anytime soon, if ever. People were very lucky to escape by all accounts.

think I'd need a few stiff drinks to get in one on the road, never mind the wets stuff  n I wouldn't want to be drinking any of that crap they call water in the Albert Dock, far too many late night club bears hanging around waiting for the last bus for my liking, guess its been topped up many a time

They're used all around the world for this, I guess no one has created a worthwhile replacement and the BV206/210 are just too unwieldy for driving around a city. Can't see this having a big enough capacity!

A good few of the amphibious Alvis Stalwarts about ,know of 3 in my locality .
A guy a few miles up the road from me runs an off road centre who has an ex British one as his gate guardian ,
Don't think the passengers would like the water entry of this clip though  especially off the side of the Albert dock

That's scary mikesyam... sank very quickly. If you had family on board - then the situation can quickly get out of control as you try an account for everyone.
