The Last Surviving Giant Passenger Hovercraft

In early 1968, Britain launched a revolutionary new form of sea transport: the giant SRN4-class hovercraft. They are the largest passenger hovercraft ever built, and they could fly between England and France in just 30 minutes - three times faster than anything else on the water. So why don't we have anything like them any more?
