  • As darkness approaches, a queue of campervans and other vehicles queue up at the first checkpoint in the Port of Dover's Eastern Docks, the holidaymakers' first step to travelling across the English Channel to France or Belgium. beneath the famous white cliffs of Dover, that symbol of England's edge that is seen from the sea as one leaves or approaches the English shores. It is dusk and the flood lights have started illuminating the busy port roads and ramps, the red rear tail lights from a truck cross the picture's foreground and the signs - with graphics of busses, cars  and arrows that tell drivers in which lane to line-up glow yellow.

  • The Sir Christopher, an SR.N4 Hovercraft arriving at Ramsgate from the French coast. The SR.N4 (Saunders-Roe Nautical 4) hovercraft was a large passenger and vehicle carrying hovercraft  built by the British Hovercraft Corporation  (BHC). Work on the SR.N4 began in 1965 and the first trials took place in early 1968. The SR.N4 was the largest hovercraft built to that date, designed to carry 254 passengers in two cabins besides a two-lane automobile bay which held up to 30 cars. Cars were driven from a bow ramp just forward of the cockpit / wheelhouse.  The SR.N4's operated services across the English Channel between 1968 and 2000, when the Channel Tunnel made their service unprofitable.
