The old cross-channel hovercraft face the breaker, it seems.

I know they'll never "fly" again, but it seems a shame that at least one shouldn't be preserved for posterity. Property developers want the space they're taking up, and the Hovercraft Museum Trust is very anxious.

Wish I'd travelled on them!

There's a petition here, its originators hoping to preserve one of these extraordinary machines:

If anyone feels that it's worth preserving one of these machines, that might be of interest.
