Old, R. T., 2005. "The demise of VA3 was spectacular and painful. She was blown up off Ryde sands by a series of controlled underwater explosions carried out by the RN and BHC to determine the vulnerabilty of air cushioned vehicles to mines etc. Though severely damaged during the final tests individual 'bits'of her had to be chased on the tide and disposed of separately. The maximun 'g' recorded was of the order of 7, it was suggested at the time that a ship or submarine would have experienced something of the order of 20 'g'plus in similar circumstances."
Parkinson, C., 2008. "The bow-on shot of the Coast Guard Hovercraft is i believe #039, built for a Gulf State, but never delivered, although the craft were registered in Ottawa, the SRN6 and one SRN5 was based at Sea island hovercraft base. The two SRN6 were 086 and 039, the SRN5 was decomissioned and another SRN6 was bought from the Arctic, parts were taken from the SRN5 to get the SRN6 working and registered as 045. At the same time the Coast Guard was operating a AP1-88 200 on the East Coast. 086 was retired first, then 045 and finally 039. We now have 2 AP1-88 400 and 2 AP1-88 200, one of each on the West Coast and East coast."
Walker, 2009. "Just to let you know I heard it was becoming a sorta carpark for lorries? Seems such a waste.."
