    I had the dubious pleasure of travelling on one of the SR.N4 craft in around 1996 - there and back for a holiday. The interior was not luxurious, it was basically like being on a coach. The ride was not smooth, it was pretty jarring. Much like hydrofoils and Concorde, the hovercraft was a product of Harold Wilson's 'white heat of technology' - they were all phenomenal technological advances, but drank like an alcoholic at a free bar and weren't terribly refined modes of transport..... by good grief they were fast! Thanks for the review though - a worthy subject (posted from the Isle of Wight, by an irregular user of the world's only commercial hovercraft service, as briefly featured in the video)

I personally traveled on the IoW hovercraft and found it to be quite smooth, but it was a nice day haha. Perhaps my next trip should be on a stormy day! You never know with the ever changing world of batteries and electric we may find a slight resurgence in hovercraft technology, but we may be a long way off yet.

    Fun fact back in the 1960s I think the 1980s these hovercraft used to well cross the English channel once to France when the fuel prices started going up. These hovercraft become expensive to use and eventually I think the late 1980s services across the channels will be shut down, you can ride in hovercraft is well cross Isle which is less hungry and much smaller. It’s just the past of the hovercraft that we used to have
