An internally illuminated zeppelin . . . ? ?

So maybe kinda Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven . . . .

Yes. It flies around melbourne doing joy flights. It belongs to appliances online. That why jeff mentioned whitegoods.

 

Ah thanks, didn't understand that one . . .

 

A dirigible!
Being from the aerospace sector, this was fairley easy. I'm impressed its lit up inside, local ones used for TV coverage of outside events (gridiron etc), use a rubberized cloth, and so therefore are opaque, i.e. externally lit.

I'm reminded of the "Top Gear" caravan/travel trailer, which was hot air supported.

 

Truly magnificent. Was the radar in the background scale too, so the 'harbor master' could view ship movements remotely?

Note; We have similar problems with scale model aircraft, speed and inertia being the two biggies.

I seem to remember some similar scale warships with a person inside. Was this pre-radio control?

 

It looked good all lit up from the inside. I hope to get a flight on it one day.

does anyone know her, she was in Spain when I took these, she is longer than it looks poss 95 feet
I do know she was designed up in New England, Maine I think, I spoke to her grizzled skipper

 

Famous superyacht. Something of an engineering nightmare to pull off the skylights with the mast going up through. All kinds of info on her out there. I seem to recall they made a movie of the build.

 

you in the market?
