Post your favorite airship thoughts as well as other obsolete fantastic things that we sadly dont get enjoy these days.

My grandad was a crew member on British airship version of the Zeppelin, the R36 I seem to remember, which I have found on Pathe here:

They were indeed a bit... bad.

I've always found it fascinating that such a majestic creation that must have been truly impressive to see no longer exists. I'm trying to think of something comparable "astounding to see but no longer exists", but cant think of any...

I loved watching the Good Year blimp float over our garden in Shoreham when I was a kid, especially when it was lit up.

Both the band and the airship fit the criteria.

Jumbo jets and cruise liners.

No bad thing

A dead heat in a Zeppelin race was always a sight to behold.

He could probably smell them from over there though.

Surely you should email Paul Barber when you notice something not right ?
