Here is a video clip of the Thames Arrow Express leaving Tower Pier. The service was not commercially successful however and was shut down on December 8, 1972 after less than six months, and the vessels leased to Red Funnel in the Solent in late 1973. more
To fortify the service, in March 1974 the GLC funded the down payment on the purchase of a third HM.2 hovercraft, which was delivered two months later, as a spare to achieve 99 per cent service reliability. here
Three Russian designed and constructed Raketa class boats were imported by Airavia, the Raketa Greenwich, Raketa Thames, and Raketa Westminster. The goal was to operate a peak period Thames commuter service, with off peak trips for tourists. The company estimated that they could transport 2,000 passengers a day between Woolwich / Thamesmead and central London, using a total of five Raketas, but two were sold to other cities, including the already christened Raketa Westminster to a ferry service in Manila. Unfortunately, by the time that Airavia launched its service, the GLC was no longer in a position to assist financially or otherwise, such as pushing for integration of hydrofoils with London Transport services. Inflation and weariness of backing another money pit were the likely reasons. [links]
If you watched any episode of series 5 of the 1970’s sitcom Man About the House, you would have seen a passenger hydrofoil at 25 seconds into the title sequence. [links]
