R101 - A Glimpse into the Ill-Fated Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the moorings of R101 at Cardington, Bedfordshire, on the 4th of October 1930. This colossal airship was about to embark on an ambitious voyage to India, showcasing Britain's pioneering spirit in air transport. With its majestic presence dominating the landscape, R101 stood as a symbol of innovation and technological advancement. Its sleek design represented Europe's quest for progress and exploration during that era. Little did anyone know that this very journey would end tragically. The image captures the airship before departure, seemingly ready to conquer the skies with confidence. However, fate had other plans.
