- British Hovercraft Corporation (BHC) was a British hovercraft manufacturer that designed and produced multiple types of vehicles for both commercial and civil purposes. Created with the intention of producing viable commercial hovercraft in March 1966, BHC was the result of an corporate merger between the Saunders-Roe division of Westland Aircraft and Vickers Supermarine's hovercraft interests. None of the Vickers hovercraft designs reached quantity production, manufacturing efforts being centered upon Saunders-Roe's existing portfolio. Perhaps the most high-profile vehicle produced by BHC was the large SR.N4 Mountbatten class hovercraft; it was the largest civil-orientated hovercraft to ever be put into service; several were completed and used in revenue services across the English Channel for multiple decades. Later on, the BHC developed their own newer hovercraft designs, such as the military-oriented BH.7 Wellington class and the medium-size diesel-powered British Hovercraft Corporation AP1-88. These vehicles made advances in the efficiency and viability of hovercraft; the AP1-88 was produced in quantity not only by BHC but also under licence in both Australia and China. In 1970, Westland Aircraft acquired the shares from the other firm's owners, making the BHC a wholly owned subsidiary of Westland. During the 1980s, the firm's focus on hovercraft declined as it became increasingly involved in the manufacture of composites for other company's products. In 1984, the company was renamed Westland Aerospace. (en)
- La British Hovercraft Corporation était une société morale créée lors de la fusion de Saunders-Roe, division de Westland Aircraft et Vickers Supermarine en mars 1966, avec la volonté de créer des aéroglisseurs commercialement viables — (les participations étaient de 65% pour Westland Aircraft , 25% pour Vickers, 10% pour la National Research Development Corporation (Société nationale de recherche et de développement ou NRDC). Aucune des conceptions Vickers n'a été retenu, la production actuelle des conceptions de Saunders-Roe a continué (SR.N5 classe Warden et SR.N6 classe Winchester) et l'aéroglisseur conçu par Saunders-Roe de classe Mountbatten (SR.N4), a été achevée et est entré au service par les traversées trans-Manche. Seul un nouveau design a été réalisé (1969) par la British Hovercraft Corporation, le BH.7 (classe Wellington). En 1970, Westland Aircraft a acquis les actions des autres parties. En 1971, la British Hovercraft Corporation a acquis , division de Britten-Norman. En 1984, le nom de la société a été changé pour Westland Aerospace. La conception et fabrication des aéroglisseurs avaient effectivement cessé et l'entreprise a été impliqué dans la fabrication de matériaux composites pour l'industrie aérospatiale. La British Hovercraft Corporation a réalisé la représentation du plus grand drapeau Union Jack dans le monde en le peignant sur les portes de leur hangar sur le front de mer à East Cowes en 1977 pour célébrer le jubilé d'argent de la reine Élisabeth II.
