New British airship
The UK Daily Mail have quite an inspiring article about a new British airship.
IMO: The idea sounds great, but why do I always think "ground nuts" every time the Brits bring out a 'big' idea. This airship is a toy when compared to the Hindenburg, for starters it's a puny 300ft in length, the Hindenburg was over 800ft. But, the US army apparently will buy some of these, the cost each is to be about half a billion dollars. Most comments so far, seem to indicate it could be quite useful.
