Hovercraft Museum Lee-on-the-Solent 27 5 2022

Hovercraft Museum  Lee-on-the-Solent 27 5 2022
If one wants to sample the delights of a hovercraft trip, and I have yet to do so, there is the Southsea to Ryde ferry service a few miles to the east of the museum.

I am sure it will be worth a return visit Phil.
In my dim and distant memory I remember a hovercraft ride in Weston in the early 60's I would think, and your picture reminded me, so thank you

HFF and have a good weekend

I think Weston may have a RNLI hovercraft now. I can't remember one giving rides in the early '60s, but the vast stretches of sand and mud at low tide make it a good place for them.
HFF Carol.

If memory serves me correctly it was quite big and went from Weston to somewhere on the welsh coast. I was only a kid but it stuck with me somehow

It is amazing what one can find on line, stuff that ten years ago would have been just lurking in some hard to access film archive.
Thanks for looking that out for me, Carol.
