I hope you don't mind me digressing a little, but many years ago I was travelling back from Calais to Dover on the SRN4 and when I pulled into the car park, the hover had just left. A few minutes later, another one turned up (he was testing after a deep service), and they let the 4 cars that were waiting go on board and depart. Anyway, the crossing seemed to be going very fast and we actually overtook the other SRN4 and landed first. Just before leaving, the Captain said that he hoped we had enjoyed our flight and "please don't tell anyone how fast we crossed". TWENTY FOUR MINUTES FROM RAMP TO RAMP.
