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.
