Drone footage of Pegwell bay Hoverport in Cliffsend Thanet in kent.
Hovercraft began operating from the purpose built hoverport in 1969.
It carried passengers across to Calais harbour in as little as 22 minutes.
Services from the hoverport ceased at the end of the 1982 season.
For a while the site was used for administration and servicing purposes, with the buildings finally being demolished in 1992.
Today all that remains are the concrete aprons, approach road and vehicle marshalling areas.
The site is now home to a huge array of wildlife from insects to birds and is a popular location for dog walkers.
