Now, on MilAvn 2, we have extensive coverage of the Olympics.
Here you can continue discussing balloon shaped things

Apparently it was supposed to have flown earlier on at dinner time - according to their twitter feed but due to a bit of ill wind, might not happen for a few days

Blast, was just coming up from a funeral of a close friends parent in London, decided to take the A10 scenic route opposed to M25 and M11. I had seen on my FB feed on leaving the wake - that it was being prepped.
How long did the flight take and what route ? If I had headed overtowards the A1 would I have seen it from a distance? I take it that next to the camera crews, the crowd gathered at the fence were selected members of the Airlander Club?
I hope they will continue to fly it again this week....
cheers

Chopper2004,
The "other" enclosure was our families.
We were short of day-time so it was one RH circuit, take-off was south easterly.
It was a good day for flying, as I walked down the perimeter track to my station I saw what I am pretty sure was the Lysander in the circuit at Old Warden. If I believed in omens, that was a good one.
Post-flight the non-handling pilot reported that the local roads were jammed.
This was my second first flight as a team member in 13 months. I love my job.
Cheers

I love that middle link of yours, thank you. 40 years ago I was that small child and so I suspect were a lot of the rest of us at HAV.
Here is an HAV-supplied aerial view:

t43562,
More good links, thanks.
The air-to-air is not from a UAV, it's from a R44 with a real pilot and a real camera operator. They were working for Dean Arnett who is producing the official video history. I ordered mine months ago!

Cardington happens to be inside a small danger area, D206, which is active H24 Monday to Friday so they (and we) need permission to operate in it.
