The Hovercraft Museum provided me with some stills and data on the craft, but not quite as impressive as seeing it in operation.

If the truth were to be told, the sound was actually dubbed on that clip before being uploaded to Youtube. Its amazing what sound effects you can come across on an old BBC LP you've had on a shelf for 20 years. The clockwork (yes clockwork) cine camera my father used to film that clip didn't have sound
