Blimp over Riddells Creek
That’s interesting.
American Blimp A60+ VH-JVW was registered on 17th October to the Van Wagner Airship Company in NSW. Most recently it was in Europe advertising Goodyear. Possibly the same airship as I don’t think there are any others in Oz at the moment.
If memory services we’ve had Alan Bonds Airship Industries blimp advertising various Bond products
and then the American Blimp advertising Whitmans chocolates, Goodyear and briefly Accenture. Any others?
There was the period of the Sydney Olympics in 2000, when advertising was banned, that the Goodyear blimp was changed to “Good Games” and/or “Good luck” to get around the ban.
It will be great to see a blimp floating over us again

Are you sure the rego isn't JRW?
Yep, it was a C421 until 14/10/14 when that aircraft became VH-EQZ... the rego JRW was passed on to an interested party who wanted his initials.
Was painted and inflated at the old John Holland hangar (now Melbourne Aviation Precinct) at MEL over the last month or so. Emerged last week with an interesting take off.

I was doing city orbits today around Melbourne and I flew over that guy. I was super excited. I don't think I've ever seen a blimp. How many blimp pilots are there? BLIMPS!
My chickens didn't like it this morning. I thought they were acting funny, not straying too far from the chookhouse, even with freshly mown long grass in the yard. Then I saw the blimp nearby.
They're back to the normal pecking and scratching now it's gone.
