The SRN4 on public display at the BHC factory at Cowes, Isle of Wight. Note the lack of a skirt at this stage of her development. Apparantly levitating the craft is actually sitting raised up artificially on her seven giant rubber pads and some jacks to simulate hoverheight. Photos sent by Nigel Thornton.


The first SRN4

SRN4 number 1, later to be named The Princess Margaret, flies out of the BHC factory at East Cowes, Isle of Wight. The craft was the first to be purchased, by Dutch company Hoverlloyd to be operated between Pegwell Bay, England and Calais, France. [Photo: The Hoverspeed Story]
