Transport 29, get-pushed-613

The hovercraft connects the Isle of Wight to the mainland. The journey only takes 10mins and from landing and departing takes 7mins. It runs frequently throughout the day and I was fortunate to be there as it arrived but preferred this shot of it leaving. I was challenged to convert my theme of 30-shots to monochrome.
You have to stand well back or you get blasted with water, sand and pebbles from the beach.
Wow! Are these in use? I remember learning about them over 30 years ago and thinking they were alien. I've never seen one in real life.

@monikozi the inventor manufactured them in this area in 1959. I remember going on one for the first time back in 1964 possibly.
