Airship just flown across Chatham

[tr7v8]

Sitting here minding my own business & working when I see a medium airship, not a balloon fly over! Pretty much going due East? Anyone else seen it?

[Eric Mc]

Any sponsorhip on it?

Isn't there some company charging £500 or so for scenic trips over London in one? Could be that?

Was it the Stella one?

TBH it was a reasonable distance away when I spotted it. I did get the camera out though & take a few pics. I'll see if I can download them later.

It was the one flown from Cardington Hanger in Bedford, of to Paris or some such malarky.

It has the only uk female pilot on board, thats why the hangers have to be so big, you see.

£185 for a 30 min trip I think it is. Seen it quite a lot but not recently, I guess it only flies in good weather.

It's as still as a grave here, literally Beaufort Scale 0!

Yep - Nice Hangars!

I'm in Sittingbourne, with my office window looking West, I'll keep an eye out.

I think her hangers need a bit more helium - they're low-flying.

That must be it. £185 for half an hour! There's another PH thread running right now where I can think of better views to get for £185!

You'd have seen it by now, it was around 10:30 ish & flying at around 30-40MPH
