HM Airship R100, 1930 (1933).
HM Airship R100, 1930 (1933). R100 was a British airship which made its first flight in 1929. It was part of a project to develop airships for military use as well as being intended to provide a transatlantic passenger service similar to that provided by Germany's 'Graf Zeppelin'. R100 flew to Canada and back in 1930, but was then grounded after the other British airship, R101, crashed and burned in France while en route to India on 5th October 1930, killing 48 people. The disaster brought an end to British airship travel and R100 was scrapped the following year.
