Filmed from a high vantage point at Dover’s International Gateway, we see numerous cars, trucks and coaches clearing immigration and customs before driving onto the ferries using elevated ramps. Seaspeed’s SR.N4 hovercraft, 'Princess Margaret', then arrives from Boulogne. Cars emerge from its loading bay while the passengers disembark onto a waiting coach. Departing cars and passengers then board the return service, which dramatically glides off towards France.
