Solent Flyer Portsmouth Hovercraft

After many years of service the hovercrafts that transported foot passengers from Southsea, Portsmouth to Ryde on the Isle of Wight were getting rather old, so they decided to replace them, this is Solent Flyer, the first replacement one. I was lucky enough to be there watching them do test runs to train the new pilots for these hovercraft. They are quieter than the old ones, but still extremely manoeuvrable. Hopefully once they are in service and allowed passengers on board I will get a chance to go on it, I enjoyed the crossing on the old hovercrafts and the new ones are even faster!
