As we continue our focus on features across aerospace, let’s take a look at the hovercraft, which brings up the question of ‘where exactly does it fit in?’

To help us answer that question we are joined by Ben Avery.

A Landing Craft Air Cushioned (hovercraft), of 539 Assault Squadron, Royal Marines, patrols the az Zubayr river near Umm Qasr, to permit the safe passage of supply ships bringing humanitarian aid to the port.

Ben is the Chief Pilot at Griffon Hoverwork and a Trustee and Head of Operations at The Hovercraft Museum.

Recorded 13th June 2023
