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

Glad you enjoyed it; we were on holiday, of course.

Interesting, thanks
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.
