EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Vickers VA-2 hovercraft, specifically VA2-001, is seen making a stunning impression during its demonstration for Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands at the BP Harbour Installation in Usselinckxhaven, Amsterdam. The year is not explicitly stated, but this image likely dates back to the late 1950s or early 1960s when hovercraft technology was still a novelty. The Vickers VA-2, also known as the Vickers Type 161 or Hovercraft No. 2, was a pioneering amphibious vehicle designed and manufactured by the British engineering firm Vickers-Armstrongs. This particular hovercraft, VA2-001, was the first production model, and it marked a significant milestone in the development of this innovative transportation technology. The photograph showcases the VA-2 hovercraft's impressive capabilities as it hovers above the water's surface, seemingly defying gravity. The sleek, streamlined design of the hovercraft is evident, with its large fan blades at the rear creating a powerful downdraft that allows the vehicle to lift off the water and glide smoothly over the surface. Prince Bernhard, dressed in a suit and tie, stands near the edge of the harbor, observing the hovercraft intently. His presence underscores the importance and excitement surrounding this new mode of transport. The BP Harbour Installation at Usselinckxhaven, Amsterdam, serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic demonstration, with the modern industrial structures and bustling harbor activity providing a striking contrast to the futuristic hovercraft. This photograph captures a moment in time when the world was on the cusp of a new transportation era, and the Vickers VA-2 hovercraft, VA2-001, was at the forefront of that revolution.
