Close, but still no beer. There were no military rigid airship flights after October 1919. R32 was operated by the Admiralty until "technically", but not actually, transferred to the RAF.

The roundel signified intent, not active service with the Royal Air Force. AFAIK R32 flew only post manufacturing trials for and by the Navy up to October 1919. Flight after that date was as part of the Imperial Airship Scheme.

Nice try.
