Zeppellins, dirigibles, airships - that's what you want. Stay up for days, and you can hang a gondola underneath, add a galley, toilet, bunks, sofa and tv. Relatively cheap as chips too; do I get 25 quid?

I'm sure that this was tongue in cheek but why not...for some roles.

Whatever happened to Airship Industries? Their Airship 500 would be ideal in a environment where there wasn't a high speed requirement.
