    It's an amazing experience. I just wish it could have lasted more than 10/15 mins. It was over so quickly.

    Rode on that one 41 years ago when my grandparents lived on the IOW.

    Seeing the passengers disembark reminded me of the old comedy sketches where they got out of a car, nipped round the back and got back in... didn't realise it was so big!

    Good heavens, I didn't realise hovercraft were back in use again especially going to the Isle of Wight. Last time I saw one was in Dover on a day trip to France in the 70's Thanks for putting this up it's made my day

    Thanks for posting this. I normally watch the Hovers coming and going from the Ryde pad via the camera atop the hotel, run by railcam. I've been fascinated by hovercraft for most of my life and not yet been lucky enough to get onboard for a flight. I found the Hovers by accident as I came looking for the trains. So I'm getting a double treat with both Hovers and trains in the same place. I'd really appreciate it if you posted more landing or takeoff footage of the Hovers. One day I'll make it to Ryde and get there by hovercraft.

    Would love to have known what the issue was with the gent moaning at staff. Me thinks he needs to look around and see the people with walkers and in wheelchairs to put his problem into perspective. Love the video, used to use the service when I was younger for holidays. Older craft then though, these look lovely!
