Summary
DescriptionGhost of R101 - geograph.org.uk - 1268402.jpg |
English: Ghost of R101, near to Shortstown, Bedfordshire, Great Britain.
This is the sadly neglected shed No 1 once used for housing the mighty airships. The ill-fated R101 was often seen round these parts during its trials and left from this very place before crashing near Beauvais in France en route to India in 1930 <a title="http://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/r101/Crash/R101_Crash.htm," rel="nofollow" href="http://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/r101/Crash/R101_Crash.htm,">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/> effectively scuppering any further development of the extra large aircraft. Meantime, the German zeppelins ruled the lighter than air skies until 1937. |
