The story of the R34 Airship East Fortune to Mineola in 1919 was incredible, as is the Airship Museum located in Pulham St. Mary. In this video i travel to Pulham St. Mary and to the Pennoyer Centre to see their museum and discover more about the R34 airships that once used to takeoff and land at Pulham. R.N.A.S Pulham was founded in 1912, then in 1918 the Army's Royal Flying Corps and the R.N.A.S merged to form the R.A.F. or Royal Air Force. R.A.F Pulham continued in operation until 1958 when the area was returned to farmland. In this video I'll show you the inside of the airship museum at Pulham and the cafe inside the Pennoyer Centre. There will also be extracts from the journal of the R34 airship which departed East Fortune near Edinburgh to Mineola, New York and back to Pulham in July 1919.
The Airship Museum at Pulham is located inside the Pennoyer Centre, where there is also a cafe and other exhibitions into the school which used to stand on this site.

Enjoyed seeing the quaint village of Pullman St. Mary and visiting the airship museum, Alice. Loved hearing the narrated log of the Atlantic Crossing. It sure was a different age of air travel. That being said, when we visit Kathy's sister just north of Pompano Beach Florida, my brother n law and I sit out on their balcony and watch the "Goodyear Blimps" taking off and landing. I assure you the alcohol being consumed has nothing to do with it! But, it does make it more fun! The blimps are based there and you can still take a ride on them today. Not exactly the same (newer technology) but similar. Visiting the air base can be a fun day! Loved visiting the Pullman Airship Museum with you, Alice. Also enjoyed the cheesecake in the St.James Chapel. Thanks so much for bringing us along.

Airships were certainly a sight to have seen, and the R34 was one of the largest. I'm hoping to visit another airship museum next year in Germany and see what they have on display. Thanks as always for your comment.

Hi Alice that village was lovely and I'm always fascinated by airships . Loved the story of Woopsie the cat and the cafe that was a 1401 Chapel. Thanks for the look around and history :) ~ Anna

Great story Alice! If I am ever in the area I would love to check this museum out. It's fascinating to think of the two stowaways on a lighter-than-airship. I wouldn't have wanted to be left behind either.

This was an interesting aspect of aviation history that I was not aware of Alice. That would have been amazing seeing the R34 flying over that village - the sound, too! Thank you for putting this together. I can tell you have put a heck of lot of work into it. Take care, Paul.

Thanks Paul. Yes this was a big project and with this I also produced a display video for the museum, which will play to visitors. I'd like to do a few more of these if I can find the time.

R34 made first radio contact with North America with the Royal Navy Marconi wireless station near St Johns, Newfoundland ( now Canada but not in 1919) now a communications museum ( Admiralty house museum).

Thank you for that added information. The R34 story is just so interesting. One day, I hope to visit Mineola and see if anything remains from that era.
