Airship

Shame it was too windy for it to fly, but I hope to get some of it flying before it leaves Upminster

This airship seems to pose the similar problems to a sailing ship. The object is disproportionally wide or long. Doesn't make for an easy life for a tog. Good luck when it gets up and about.

Your right RH and it only carries 12 passengers, and is very expensive at £186 for half an hour flight.....I sure won't be one of the passengers either.

Don't believe any of the rubbish printed in the papers about this craft. It is not the biggest! It is not new! It is one of two, or possibly now three, that are based at Friederickshafen that occasionally get a fresh paint job to do promo work around the world.

I flew in it last year - just for a few minutes before it had to make an emergency landing :( If you get the chance to fly in it , do so. It's cheaper in Essex than in Friederickshafen.
