This country has a fine tradition when it comes to preservation, from farm machinery to fairground rides, all forms of rail and many types of aircraft. The Hovercraft may well end up as a static exhibit but it woould almost certainly require the support of national organisation.

We have relatively few naval vessels preserved in the UK given our history of seafaring however if that subject interests you then the current work taking place in Belfast on one of only three naval vessels left from WW! might be worth following. HMS Caroline is a light cruiser which saw action at Jutland she is undergoing significant restoration but at a huge cost. She was only officially decomissioned around 5 years ago but lacks guns and has a hideous structure on her stern which will be removed, I'm not sure the Hovercraft even restored woould have the appeal of this type of project but I hope that one will be saved.
