EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Saunders-Roe SR.N4, also known as the Mountbatten-class hovercraft, in its extended version named Princess Anne. Completed in 1978, this impressive hovercraft was the largest of its kind upon introduction, measuring over 60 meters in length and capable of carrying 418 passengers and 60 vehicles. The SR.N4 operated on the cross-channel route between Calais and Boulogne in France and Dover in England, revolutionizing transportation across the English Channel. Its innovative design allowed it to hover above the water, eliminating the need for a conventional boat hull and reducing travel time significantly. This extended version of the Mountbatten-class represented a major advancement in hovercraft technology and capacity, making it a significant milestone in maritime transportation history.
