James May 'Top gear
Iv just seen James May piloting an airship on Top Gear...
I was just wondering if he still fly's or if it was just staged for the show

After seeing the Mayday call, Im guessing it was just for tv

You are right Lister, Felthorpe would have been a proper and probably overall, a much better place to do it all, why we didn't suggets that I don't know..
