    There is a 700 page book with 450 pictures called 'On a Cushion of Air', which tells the story of Cockerell's discovery that heavy weights could be supported by low pressure air and the development of the hovercraft from the early days to the heyday of the giant 165-ton SRN.4, which crossed the English Channel starting in 1968 carrying 30 cars and 254 passengers at speeds in excess of 75 knots. The SRN.4 was widened and lengthened to an AUW of 320 tons and could carry 54 cars and 424 passengers for only a minimal increase power, proving conclusively that Cockerell's theory was sound. The service ended on 1st October 2000 for economic reasons. Six SR.4s were built.
