- Natural boundaries no longer limit the range of motoring as cars are carried through tunnels, on ferries, over the new Forth Road Bridge, by train, air ferry and possibly by hovercraft in the future.
Amazing to see this, in 1968 we won a return trip prize to fly our 1928 Rolls - Royce to Bruges from Southend Airport in a Bristol Air Freighter as shown ( British Air Ferries ), only one other car was allowed, it was a terrifying experience driving onto the lift which in our case we were allowed to do .2 years later we travelled on the SRN-4 hovercraft.We still have the car after 55 years now 92 years old , she has travelled by air , sea and skimmed over it !.
So it will exist after you turn into a collection of bone and dust? Truly remarkable
Great to see some of these now vintage machines.
It's odd looking at it now. Seeing this sort of thing as a youngster was really cool and cutting edge.
It looks so archaic and frankly terrifying now.
Nice to see the "Woolwich navy" in action.
Britain pioneered air car travel, the rest of the world put car rentals at the airport.
Love these videos
the train fare and some of the water ferries prices seem quite high considering wages in those days ...the plane seems a bargain!
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Danny Hugh Instablaster :)
@Nicholas Mohammad Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Nicholas Mohammad It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Danny Hugh Glad I could help xD
£100 to Switzerland! That fella with the Mk10 Jaguar will be out of luck, no way his car will fit on that plane.
Anglias all over
Yeah but it's that TR4 that catches the eye....
3:02 Cars are £20 return, that's cheap said the man. Passengers are extra, the bloke asked how much? £30 each said the ticket man! What? Bollocks to that, just take the car!
Surely the practice of air ferries must have been quite dangerous
Supposing a car had a fuel leak or even worse a fire caused by dodgy wiring
Were they checked before take off?
No way would this be allowed today
You could probably say the same for ferries or hovercraft, which each carry (or carried, in the latter case) a lot more cars than a plane could ever do. Probably easier to tackle a fire on a ferry or hovercraft, but I expect the cars were not unattended on the flights.
I WAS ABOUT 10YEARS OLD TOOK THE SOUTHEND CAR PLANE WITH A SKY BLUE STACKED HEADLIGHT MERCEDES 280S TO HOLLAND OR BELGIUM THE PLANE SHOOK LIKE A CAN OF PEBBLES ALL THE WAY !! DIDN'T DO THAT AGAIN!!!
The car might be a thing of the past soon. Take a look at Ehang. 🍉🍉
