Propper Cardington. G-BIHN SK500-02 My favourite airship and her maiden flight is my earliest memory.

Took this with my mobile yesterday.

I'd been to the memorial before, but I hadn't been inside the village church - St Mary's, just up the lane. There's a small museum dedicated to the R101. Here are some pictures from the exhibition #R101 #Airship #Bedford

Went this afternoon to see the memorial to the R101 airship disaster in the village of Cardington, just south of Bedford. All 48 people who died are buried together. #R101 #Airship #Bedford

2 ships, 1 shed. Good for showing R101s scale compared to the first Skyship 600.

Airship R38 only just fitting in the original 700 ft long Cardington shed. The shed was later enlarged to 812 feet in length, and the roof also raised with alterations to the Annexe to what we have today with Shed 1.

Airship R101. Shake your tail feathers...

I am very anti housing at Cardington. It was not needed and is very destructive to the sheds and Airfield. Decisions made by clueless people are generally bad decisions.

Daughter has recently been lightly obsessed with airships (taking after me) so for her birthday I 3D printed her this lamp of the R101.

Dowton Abbey, late to the party, really getting into it. I'm at that age, not seen any ref of the Imperial Airship Scheme. From 1924 onwards, it would have been a much talked about in such circles. Keeping an eye and ear out for passing mentions....

bedford Borough Council make developers destroy even more of Cardington with this beauty of devastation on a protected view of the sheds. What's Historic Englands views on this massive attuation pond that's to be dug on the Cardington MET office site? #Bedford #Bedfordshire #Cardington

Galley of airship R101. Chief steward over looking the cook. The cook in this image however left the project after the R100 canada flight due to his experiences on that flight. His replacement came in late September and was sadly killed in the R101 accident. Colourised.

This happened. Simulated parachuting from the roof of the shed.
