France Still Has One Of Its Old Hoverports
In the late 1960s, France and the UK built four brand new hoverports - designed to accommodate the legendary SRN4 cross-channel hovercraft. Today, only one of the four hoverport terminals is still standing. And I decided it's about time I went to explore it. With special guest star Geoff Marshall: / @geofftech2 Thank you to the friendly staff at Le Terminal, who grew up locally and were very happy to chat to us about the hoverport and its history: / le-terminal-61575871754639 RECOMMENDED FURTHER VIEWING AND READING My video on "The Last Surviving Giant Hovercraft" : • The Last Surviving Giant Passenger Hovercraft "What Happened To Giant Hovercraft" by @MustardChannel: • What Happened To Giant Hovercraft?
