Airlander 10: Aircraft leaves hanger for first time

Well, well - it finally sees the light of day...
The world's longest aircraft has been brought out of its hangar for the first time.
The Airlander 10, a plane-airship hybrid, was piloted out of the UK's biggest hangar at Cardington Airfield, Bedfordshire, at 04:00 BST on Saturday.
The 302ft-long (92m) aircraft passed with just a few feet to spare through the hangar doors and was then towed for 30 minutes to its mast site.
