and evansbe steals it at the last moment (wonder what mustpost had in mind- I think he changed his ideas a couple of times before going to the Russians?)

The pic is of the Cosford machine as is the one I post below. I almost felt guilty about the English instrument names, but then thought why not? It is a most beautifully shaped machine though isn't it?



Bri, you have control Sir

The Dinah is a beauty to be sure, and quite a performer. Here is the next cockpit:

Ok, but we are talking about dirigibles?

I have a problem here in that I can't reconcile the shape of the front bit with the normal style of control car. The narrow diameter suggests a military use to me but I am not sure. I know that Zeppelin went in for seperate control stations for pitch and yaw, not sure about other players.

Is it the 1928 "Italia"?

We're definitely facing forward here?

John Hill is correct The U.S. Navy expressed interest in the R 80, and flew it on four flights for evaluation. You have control.

Can't get the image to work for some reason, only the link.
Not a Trident though, John.

I think your picture will work OK if you cut off everything after '.jpg' when you insert the image.
