I used to travel back and forth across the Channel regularly on these wonderful craft; at one point daily. Latterly, I got to know the crew so well that I used to be invited up into the pretty small cockpit, and would spend the crossing chatting to the pilots. An amazing way to travel, and a splendid view.These crafts were awesome to see running, I'm from Dover (still live here) as a kid I used to go fishing off the admiralty pier and watch these dock in and out for hours, they were soo impressive to see running, when they come in from France they'd make a right scene no mucking about straight in and up to the hoverport like thunder out of a cloud of mist and a roar that went right through ya, memories and nostalgia, bless these gorgeous beasts where ever they might be.
