On my first trip to England in 1983 I saw the Hovercraft and was fascinated by it. Came back in 1990 and crossed from France to Dover on rough seas. It was a noisy and bumpy ride but fairly fast. Not glamorous as I had imagined but still a good memory maker.

This is an awesome video! And it brings back memories, yes. I was ten in 1969 when the world was in a higher-faster-mood: first flight of the Boeing 747, Apollo 11 landing on the moon, and the introduction of the hovercraft cross channel! Actually, we young boys were very much intrigued by this splendid piece of British ingenuity, and this even more fuelled by an article in our English textbook about the S.R.N.4. Needless to say that as soon as I was allowed to travel on my own to Britain in 1976, I did my first trip on the Calais-Ramsgate line onboard Hoverlloyd's 'Swift'. I was lucky enough having crossed the channel several times on the S.R.N.4s Mk. II and III until 1991, and even once on the N 500 Naviplane in 1979. Have always been addicted to this form of travel which resembled so much a hybridisation of ship and aircraft. Thank you very much for having shared this valuable testimony!

J'habite pas très loin de ce qui fut le terminal hovercraft côté France (situé à Loon-Plage). L'endroit est abandonné, mais il reste encore le plan incliné en béton et de rares traces de marquage au sol pour les files de véhicules. Bien triste que cette époque soit révolue!

Brings back beautiful memories of early childhood - used to cross this way several times a year to visit my dad who lived in france. As a small kid i always used to find it so impressive- the noise, the way it "floated" on land and water, and the sheer ingenuity of the thing! Once this was gone, nothing could replace it. Looking back in this it looks quite a bit smaller than i remembered it!

Brings back childhood memories to me too - we used to live in France and crossed the opposite way for short vacations.
From the same people that brought us the Harrier jump jet, Concorde, the Merlin engine that transformed the P-51 mustang, the engine that was stolen for the MiG-15, and the industrial revolution. Great vid, especially drive on. Would be great for Seattle - Victoria route

yes it would.. there's the body part of it.. and around the bottom and underneath is the air from one of the propellers being pocketed in the skirt (the big black part puffing up like a balloon) so it can hover.. when there's no air the body just rests on top of the water

These SRN4 'Mountbatten' Class hovercraft operated between the Hoverports at Ramsgate [Pegwell Bay] and Calais,and between Dover Harbour and Calais/Boulogne. They stopped operating in 2000 and two are presently preserved in the hovercraft Museum near Southampton. There was a plan to recondition them and use them across Lake Ontario in 2010 but nothing has come of this. A smaller hovercraft still operates a frequent service between Southsea and Ryde,Isle of Wight.
