30x30 Watercolour Challenge 2026 *11 SRN4 Cross Channel Hovercraft

 

Well I did say that I was going to move on from the beach theme of the majority of my first 10 paintings this year, but this is a kind of segue into what I plan to be a few transport based themes.

This is Pegwell Bay in Margate and the huge thing with the propellors is the SRN4 hovercraft that could carry 200+ passengers and 30 cars across the English Channel. It ran from 1968 - 2000, and to my shame I never had the chance to rise it. Unlikely to happen now. Only one of them still survives and it's a static display in the Hovercraft Museum.
