Old, R. T., 2005. The demise of VA3 was spectacular and painful. She was blown up off Ryde sands by a series of controlled underwater explosions carried out by the RN and BHC to determine the vulnerabilty of air cushioned vehicles to mines etc. Though severely damaged during the final tests individual 'bits'of her had to be chased on the tide and disposed of separately. The maximun 'g' recorded was of the order of 7, it was suggested at the time that a ship or submarine would have experienced something of the order of 20 'g'plus in similar circumstances.
