I recently moved to Bedford in the UK, where the R100 / R101 were built and the hangars are still standing and in use for the Airlander: https://www.hybridairve

I can't wait to see this thing in the air, even just the hangars are quite an awe inspiring sight.
- jonititan 5y agoUnfortunately the Shortstown sheds are not in use for Airlander. HAV no longer have a presence there. They couldn't afford the rents while they recover from the crash and work towards building their next test vehicle. Mostly movie studios and similar rent them now. A developer is hoping to build on the airfield which would stop any future airship use if they can't be stopped.
- drcongo 5y agoOh thanks, I hadn't realised. I hope the developers are stopped.
