Greeting, my reading friend. Are we ready to blow some air, hot or cold or whatever? No reaction? Blowing air, a whale, hovercrafts? Still no reaction. Sigh. You’re no fun. Anyway, let us begin. As was mentioned in Part 1 of this article, the small British aircraft maker Britten-Norman Limited was experiencing serious financial problems as of 1971. As we both know, it went into receivership around October. As a result, the company became Britten-Norman (Bembridge) Limited in November

Hi there, my reading friend. Yours truly is pleased to welcome you. We have so much to say (type?) today on the Cushioncraft CC7 hovercraft. And yes, there will be plenty of content from Québec and Canada. Our story began in May 1969, in Montréal, Québec, in the city’s busy harbour to be more precise, when the partly disassembled prototype of the CC7 was unshipped, put on the trailer of an 18 wheel truck and sent to a Department of Transport base at Sorel, Québec. A division of the Saint

You’re back, my reading friend. Has a week passed since our last interaction? Astonishing. Time does indeed fly. Do you remember the topic at hand? Good. Let us continue. Rightly or wrongly, the management of Cushioncraft Limited chose to fully test the CC7 before launching a wide scale effort to sell it. Foreign buyers would be the main target. This approach was based at least in part on feedback from Hovertravel Limited, the first hovercraft transport company in the world and one in which

If truth be told, there is indeed more to life than airplanes. A list of items covered in this non aeronautical category would be very long. Any list worthy of the name should, however, include Belgian style beer, dinosaurs and pterosaurs (Private joke. Hi there, Number One.), as well as air cushion vehicles. In other words, hovercrafts. What is a hovercraft, you ask? The question in itself is painful, my reading friend. It shows how little people remember a go-anywhere machine that promised to
