Lucky Breeze: the rise and fall of the British Airship Service – a talk

Between 1918 and 1930, Major George Herbert Scott CBE, AFC, was his generation's preeminent airship pilot and engineer. After leading the pioneering transatlantic airship flights, he went on to design the mooring masts for the R100 and R101. He was appointed Officer in Charge of what would become the tragic last flight of the R101, resulting in the end of the airship industry. This illustrated talk by Mike Scott Rumble looks at Scott’s career and examines the factors which led to that final journey of no return. Entry for paid-up Rustington Heritage Association members is free. Entry for visitors (space permitting) £3, payable at the door. Mike’s talk replaces the “Murders & Misdemeanours in Chichester” talk that was originally scheduled for this date.
