The one at Schofields was the ALan Bond owned airship which I believe went to Japan? The hangar is apparently still there. Got some photos of the airship at the bicentenial airshow with biplanes dog fighting around it. The 'Swan Lager' on the side looks out of place thought...
The Whitmans airship was at sporting events a few years back but seems to have left the scene.

I flew in the Whitmans airship when it was here in YPAD for some sort of event. Pretty cool ride!
I believe it was painted in a different scheme (perhaps Goodyear??) before it disappeared. Was always nice to see it floating around Adelaide Oval near the 23 centreline causing havoc for ATC
