Just been reading an article about the campaign to save the 2 redundant Cross-Channel hovercraft at the Hovercraft Museum at Lee-on-Solent from being scrapped.
They have been unused since the year 2000, but apparently could reach speeds of 70 knots (80 mph!) and even recorded a Dover to Calais crossing in 22 minutes :eek.
I never got to travel on them, but did any of you?. If so, what was it like?.
