Millport, Great Cumbrae, 1971, MV Keppel & HM2 Hovercraft

From 8mm silent cine film. Keppel ran the service to Largs for mamy years. The sidewall hovercraft were not really successful.

    Loved that boat & the sounds she made even just dialling at the piers. Thanks for the video

    Interesting, thanks. I only went on it the one time, so I wouldn't have noticed its eccentricities.

    Fond memories of the MV Keppel, seemed to go unerringly fast and somewhat out of control when slowing down as it approached it's destination.
