Re: SRN4
Hi Gary 
Rick made the SRN4 yonks ago while involved with the VFR scenery group (they who made loads of freebie stuff to match the VFR Photo Scenery). It was supposed to be part of Dover/Ramsgate/Calais with ferries to match. Not sure exactly what happened but the project never got finished (AFAIK) so didn't get released. It was made primarily for AI but I think it can be piloted (that memory of mine working overtime again)
As it may not have been released.. I'll have to wait for Rick to OK me sending you a copy but I don't think he'll mind

Re: SRN4
That's the first SRN4 that I had and it was ok, but having been lucky enough to have a copy of Rick's there is no comparison.
Rick's is for Ai, but it's a thing of beauty to look at!
Kind regards
John

Re: SRN4
That is a stunner there John. I was on the the Princess Anne back in 1978 when she was totally trashed by heavy seas and forced to beach at Wissant. Looks just how i remember it. although i think it had a blue stripe along the windows? That is why that model would mean so much to meJohn wrote:That's the first SRN4 that I had and it was ok, but having been lucky enough to have a copy of Rick's there is no comparison.

This image and many other great ones can be found at http://www.jameshovercraft.co.uk/hover/index.htm
It's strange that the last SRN4s should lay so close to where they were created (IOW), but without engines etc, they've no chance of making a return
