I remember taking a hovercraft from UK to France *with a car* in the 70's. Very noisy. Like the Hong Kong to Macau hydrofoil - also very memorable.

Took a similar ride around 1978, while studying at Portsmouth Poly...

Nice to see they used a BMW Isetta for a cockpit ;-)

I'd been hovering between Ramsgate and Calais in summer 1978, when my parents picked me up in North Wales, where I spent my summer vacation in the PPSC Camp. The hovercraft was much langer, than that one here and it was able to Tage cars with it.

Pretty much the safest way to fly that exists.

That walk round is very much like a pre flight check of an aircraft.

I used to travel on the hovercraft between Portsmouth and Ryde on the isle of Wight to get to and from school

Interesting video, a;though some of those checks I would question if they were really necessary 😂

@brutus7319 Ай бұрын

They weren't, they're just done to keep the captain busy.

I would be nervous if the compressor fails while the vessel is in the water. Anybody know how they deal with a compressor failure or the engines stopping? Even with a life jacket, I'm a very bad swimmer.

Every passenger is issued a paddle

@ruk2023-- Ай бұрын

They have life rafts and life jackets and it won't just immediately sink if the skirt fails.

@AndrewCZ47 Ай бұрын

AFAIK it has to be able to float with engines off, part of the safety code. So it would be the same as losing engines on a boat - be ready to evacuate if things get worse, otherwise wait for a tow.

@UKWMO Ай бұрын

As has been said above it can float when not on its cushion of air. The base of craft has watertight compartments allowing it to float. Also its lift is not operated by a compressor. It has large fans which draw in air and create lift which is trapped under the craft by the black rubber skirt.

Very interesting video! Where does this hovercraft sail? How fast can it sail? It seems to sail as a very short shuttle... Thanks for sharing!

Portsmouth (Southsea) to Ryde Isle of Wight. 10 minute journey.

I travelled from Calais to Dover in 1975 or 1976 it was marvellous to travel by the hovercraft.

@krishnamoorthys6952 Ай бұрын

Even if the compressor fails , it will descend and float on the surface ,may be water or land.

@mikethespike7579 3 ай бұрын

The service runs on the south coast of England between Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight. A word of warning; it can be a rather rough ride when the water is choppy. I don't get sea sick easily, but a trip on one of those things once showed me my limits.

@vintageclassicscam978 Ай бұрын

Nice video. Where is this place please.

@Ailikor Ай бұрын

The mainland terminal is Southsea, Portsmouth it terminates in Ryde on the isle of Wight.

@senianns9522 Ай бұрын

Is it cost effective? Didn't look well used by passengers?

@UKWMO Ай бұрын

No business it their right mind would operate a service if it wasn’t profitable. Hovertravel have been operating this route since 1965 so it’s obviously well established and successful.

£31.50 currently for a return(special deals also available for island residents) , the service can get very busy as it ships workers onto the main land and is also very popular for tourism.

Too expensive to operate goodness knows what the fare would be?

@UKWMO Ай бұрын

No more expensive than Wightlink’s catamaran service. At least the hovercraft is beach to beach. Wightlink’s catamaran drops you off at the end of Ryde pier which you then have walk down or catch the train. It’s the fastest ferry to the island so if its convenience and speed you’re after then this is it.

Any one else could call off that bluff of his inspection. 1. Failed to check the seats are aecurwd 2. Failed to inspect the other twin blade propeller 3. Failed to inspect the monitors were secured. 4. Failed to inspect steering wheel wobbles or not. Lost goes on, because ehe ain't carrying a checklist.
