RIGHT International supplement, 28 May 1964 SPEEDwith COMFORT Air-Cuihion Vahiclm The 7-ton, 20-passenger Westland SR.N5 is ideal for passenger ferry operations on over-water routes Independent of deep-water channels, and cruising at up to 73 knots, it can provide speedy, direct services. Its amphibious capability, and consequent independence of normal dock and terminal facilities, reduce turn-round times to literally a few minutes. A Westland-designed flexible rubber skirt assures maximum passenger comfort, even in waves around 4 ft. high, and also gives SR.N5 outstanding obstacle-clearance capability over land or ice. Location of the engine aft of the passenger cabin keeps noise to a minimum. For routes with heavier traffic, Westland offers the 37^-toni 150-passenger SR.N2 Mk.2 with the same outstanding passenger comfort, and over-wave and obstacle-clearance performance.
