  "textContent": "An amphibian 1 for use on land and water, comprising: a hull having a planing surface 2, and at least one retractable suspension apparatus 4 movable from a vehicle supporting position to a retracted position, comprising for each wheel 5, upper and lower suspension arms 8, 9 that are pivotably connected at inboard ends to a support structure within the hull; and are pivotably connected at outboard ends to a suspension upright 7. Upright 7 extends from a first, upper connection past a second, lower connection to a location 10 for a wheel hub mounting. The suspension upright when deployed in land use extends externally of the hull across a side face 2A of the planing surface; while lower suspension arm 9 remains above the top of planing surface 2 throughout use of the amphibian on land. This suspension arrangement allows the hull to have no cutouts in its planing surface.",
