I wish we had large airships with these interiors today!

I think there would be an amazing market in airship cruises. Think of it, instead of being on a ship, where all you have to see is blue for miles around, you could go on air cruises. Travel around the world at a comfortable altitude, low, slow, and enjoyable. Live in luxury as the great sky-cruiser gracefully flies you over the world's most popular attractions. I think it would have a big market for the same target-consumer as ocean cruisers.

So glad to see this! There are plenty of videos on the R-101, but almost nothing on its (step) sister ship.

Incredible reconstruction. Did an essay on the age of zeppelins when I was in college. My professor loved it. Shame we might never see zeppelins like them again.

I guess the engine mechanics had a rather scary ladder to get to and from the engine cars.

I used to have a beautiful large book that entailed everything about the R100 and R101. It also covered the Henley air shows, World War One aircraft and their pilots including Baron Manfred Von Richtenhoven. It also included clippings from the day when he was shot down supplied thoughtfully by my grandfather. Unfortunately I trusted it to a friend I thought it would be safe to loan it too but his wife was a book collector and she promptly sold it. I regret I ever let it out of my hands every day.

Thoroughly recommend reading Neville Shute's book "Slide Rule", which gives the inside story about the design and construction of the R100.

Yes! It is an excellent insight into the culture, engineering, design, initiative and pioneering spirit of the UK in the 1930’s…..only to be quashed by politicians and a world war. The embers of that spirit may still glow but are in desperate need of kindling.

Well done! How very informative. If helium had been widely available these would have been very attractive for the folks who could afford first class on ships such as the Queen Mary. I appreciate the work that went into making this interesting presentation. Thank you.

Since my comment I have learned of the limitations of helium, lifting strength. That said the hope of airships throughout the commonwealth was very romantic.

Thanks, this was really cool. I've seen pictures of the R100 before, but these really brought it to life.
