The SR.N2 was a hovercraft built by Westland and Saunders-Roe that first flew in 1961. Although only one was built, it is regarded as the prototype for commercial hovercraft, following on from the SR.N1 research craft, and it was the craft from which the military SR.N3 was developed. The SR.N2 was demonstrated on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada in 1962 and in 1963 it was operated by P and A Campbell as a ferry across the Bristol Channel between Weston-super-Mare and Penarth. Only the one craft was ever built, so its trials and ferry season are the whole operating record of the type.
