Cushioncraft


 

Cushioncraft Ltd was formed in 1960 as a division of Britten-Norman Ltd (manufacturer of aircraft) to develop/build hovercrafts. Originally based at Bembridge Airport on the Isle of Wight, Cushioncraft later moved to the Duver Works at St. Helens, these works gave ready access to the sheltered water of Bembridge Harbour.
