This is the Sealand SH2, number 016 used in Holland and Britain. It was a 1971 six seater built up in Cumbria and one of only 2 then companies licensed to build light hovercraft by the Government with grants. They mass produced a smart craft up North in fibreglass from moulds but soon went bankrupt as craft performance and sales did not live up to expectation. A Chrysler engine with 2 pairs of contra rotating props drive the craft and lift is from a belted fan.
