Airship R101 animated AI. Really do not know why a lot of folk use AI to create versions of R101 that look like a steam punks dream when you can do it with real photos and get pretty decent results

Now this is Maths based so bare with me and please correct me if I am wrong. The distance from the Moon to earth is roughly 1,900,000,000 feet from the earth, so the distance from earth to the Moon can be measured with 2,339,901.477832512 shed lengths.

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

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.

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.

Light grey 3d print of the British airship R101. A light inside is making it glow yellow.

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
