Matchbox/Lesney 72c; SRN6 Hovercraft |
The Saunders-Roe (later British Hovercraft Corporation) SR.N6 hovercraft (also known as the Winchester class) incorporated several features that resulted in it quickly becoming the most produced and successful hovercraft design in the world. The SR.N6 was the first production craft to enter commercial service. The Mk.1 entered production in 1965, while the Mk.8 continues in production today. Experience with the design would lead to the very large automobile ferry SR.N4, which is no longer in service.
There was only one version of this model although it is known without windows and occasionally the stickers are wrongly placed. It was in the Matchbox range from 1972 to 1978 and is by no means rare and attracts no premium.
