Oct. 10, 1967 - The World's largest Hovercraft SRN4 makes its first-public appearance at Cowes.: The 165 ton SR.N4, which is far and away the world's largest hovercraft, was seen in public for the first time at the British Hovercraft Corporations's plant at Cowes, Isle of Wight, today. It is powered by four 3, 400 Bristol SIddeley Marine Proteus gas turbines and typical loads are 609 passengers (all seated) 254 passengers and 30 cars, or 50-tons of freight. Sometimes nest year two of these giant hovecrafts, graced by pretty hostesses will skim over to France and back at 70 M.P.H. laden with cars and passengers.
