Ask Pontious Navigator - he's probably got a few hours on them.....

A few minutes delving indicates that airship operation was part RN, part RAF after the formation of the RAF, but Howden and Cardington were RAF stations even though the airships were from the RNAS. But shortly after the R38 prang, interest in the wretched things mercifully waned.

Apart, that is from the periodic efforts of snake-oil salesmen attempting to revive military interest....
