EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the majestic takeoff of Westland SRN6, SR-N6-150, as it bids farewell to Southsea Terminal, embarking on its journey across the Solent strait towards Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The Westland SRN6, also known as the "Hoverlloyd Flying Boat," is a versatile and iconic British short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, designed primarily for passenger and cargo services. This specific aircraft, registered as SR-N6-150, was operated by Hovertravel, a renowned British company specializing in passenger and vehicle hovercraft services. The SRN6, with its distinctive twin-boom configuration and powerful engines, is capable of hovering just above the water surface, providing a unique and exhilarating travel experience. As the sun casts a warm glow over the Southsea Terminal, the SRN6 prepares for its flight, its powerful rotors whirring to life, creating a gentle hum that echoes through the air. The water around the terminal ripples as the aircraft lifts off, leaving a trail of spray in its wake. The Isle of Wight, with its picturesque coastline and rolling hills, beckons in the distance, promising adventure and relaxation to those aboard. This photograph captures the essence of the SRN6's unique capabilities and the beauty of the Solent strait, offering a glimpse into the world of short-haul air travel and the enduring allure of flight.
