It is a fact that there were many more sceptics and only a few advocates for the airship in the UK some ten years ago. Few people had given serious thought to the possible return of the airship as a modern transport form, still fewer were prepared to back it financially and it was left to the few to put forward their thoughts and plans for its return. In this they were encouraged by the small fleet of blimps being flown by Goodyear in the USA and by the fact that the US Navy had not phased out airships until 1962.
