| 説明 | Built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1919 as the first of two R.33 class patrol airships originally intended for the Royal Naval Air Service. Delivered to the Royal Air Force and flew from RAF Pulham in Norfolk. In 1920 she was civil registered as G-FAAG and used for trials of new mooring techniques. She moved to Croydon in 1921 and was used by the Metropolitan Police for observing traffic. She appeared at the 1921 Hendon Air Pageant and then flew to Cardington where she was mothballed until 1925. On 16th April 1925 she was torn from her mast at Pulham and blown out over the North Sea. The crew regained control but the gale still blew her to the Dutch coast. When the wind lowered she limped home and finally arrived there some 28 hours after her adventure started. In October 1925 she provided data to assist with the construction of the R-101, but then went on to carry out parasite fighter trials using a DH53 Humming Bird (possibly J7326, the example on display in the de Havilland Air Museum at Salisbury Hall). In 1926 she carried and successfully launched a pair of Gloster Grebe fighters, but then the trials ended and she was broken up in 1928 after she was found to be suffering with metal fatigue. The front of her control car somehow survived and has been on display at Hendon since the museum opened in 1972.RAF Museum London.Hendon, Greater London, UK3rd October 2020 |
