Airship Spotted over Shrewsbury

[Mafioso]

Anybody in the area see it? Was heading sort of towards Whitchurch. Wasn't close enough to see what was written on it.

Not seen one before - quite a menacing sight!

Was it dropping bombs and did it have a big black cross on the side?

Who the hell would want to drop bombs on Whitchurch!!!!!

If that were the case I don't think I'd have needed to ask on PH!

I think there used to be one kept at Rednal. No idea if there still is though.

Could it be the Goodyear Blimp?

[Odie]

The Goodyear blimps northern base is near where I live it was landing at about 6 tonight so its possible.

It was up for the manchester utd v city game tonight according to the website. So you probably saw it heading north from its southern base after being in london a few days.

I knew several blokes who hated the "Whitchurch Run" on Relay a few years back*

I'm sure some of them would chip in if you are offering



(*I however used to love ['bladdering' up the A41 of an evening. Lovely road)

Mrs occrj spotted the Goodyear 'ship over Nantwich yesterday, guess it's the same one

[NismoGT]

Nope. Didn't see it. But have seen the Goodyear blimp flying over here before ( Telford ).

A short while ago in an undisclosed field off the A57 Liverpool road

Good spot that man! I did see it on the telly of the Manchester game last night so that must be it. PH cracks the case once again!
