A very intersting and "living" musuem - highly to recommend!
The BH7, or Wellington class hovercraft, was designed for military applications. It first flew in 1969 and was used in many trials with the Royal Navy. During the 13 years of tests, it was evaluated for many different roles including, anti-submarine warfare and mine countermeasures.
Most notably, one winter, our BH7 successfully completed a round trip to The Arctic Circle leaving from Lee-on-the-Solent when it served with the Royal Navy.
