Trial Run for World's Biggest Hovercraft-- The SRN4, the world's biggest Hovercraft, is shown during a trial run off Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, yesterday. The 165-ton "Mountbatten" class craft skimmed up to 60 miles an hour in the six-foot high waves of the English Channel. She will carry 254 passengers and 30 cars between Dover, England, and Boulogne, France, and is due to go into service in August.
