Took our whole family on the hovercraft to IOW in August 2020 for the day. Everyone enjoyed themselves. As It was great day out.

Every summer I'm on the hovercraft to the Isle of Wight. I just bloody love it SO MUCH! It's totally frickin' awesome! I also noticed this video features the new "Island Flyer" hovercraft, which I've only been on once so far, and that was last year, LOL! I just love everything about the hovercraft. The way the skirt goes up, the way it just smoothly rolls off and even the way the engines rev up right before it goes. On a good day, I even sometimes hear it in the distance from my house in Gosport, and it always gives me that warm, comforting, excited feeling of being on it inside! :)

As a lad I would watch the SRN1 I think it was, plying the Solent being tested. Once established, the pax model used to run down the slip built for it at Southsea and scream noisily off to The Isle of Wight. In my little yacht I was fascinated to see the prop stop for an instant as it went passed. They had good bearings in the hub! My older cousin was a skipper on the ferry and reckoned one time when I accompanied him on the bridge that a hovercraft would catch a wave under it one day and flip. Prescient comment.

@@kittikoko Prescient - I think he means that there was a hovercraft accident where one flipped over, on this route, in 1972. My little two-seat hover was hard enough to control when there was no wind at all, and nobody knew where it would go next (including the pilot). And terrible fuel consumption.

@aswclassics iow I remember it happening. They did not use a hovercraft in the rescue I imagine. In Auckland NZ the airport rescue purchased 2 small craft to aid any plane that went down in the shallow and muddy harbour. As a SCUBA diver I attended a rescue exercise that quickly became a shambles. One got stuck on the slip through inadequate power and the other had a flat battery. The equipment shed was locked and the guy with the key was on holiday! I haven't kept track of them now so don't know if hoovers are still being used. It is obvious though that a fairly substantial machine would be needed which was definitely not purchased.

Is it a boat? Is it a plane? No, its a hovercraft! That looks like a lot of fun. Having watched so many of Kittikoko's IOW films, I know I will be taking a trip there as soon as this lockdown is over, assuming I still have a job/money by then! The question will be whether to enjoy the novelty of the speedy hovercraft or the more sedate Kat, which I assume lets you get out on deck and feel the wind on your face. Thanks for this and your other films Kittikoko. xxx

just happened to see your comments while watching a vid of the ''hoovercraft '.Like you I was brought up in Portsmouth and took for granted the sights and sounds without thinking too much about it all. Now, some 12000 miles away and 50 years later, I have a longing to see Langstone Harbour, the Roman fort in the inner harbour at Portchester and so many parts of Portsmouth that I took for granted before leaving England's shores. I miss England when I bother to think about it. So much has changed. The World is now a different place. The internet has shown us how much we are being manipulated. It would be gratifying to return in my dotage to see the places that were dear to me in my youth.

Only inconvenience is in the winter months, it can be cancelled for as much as a week at a time. It’s so weird to see people who have never been on a hover’s perspectives in the comments.
