Berkshire airship

There appeared to be an airship flying east near White Waltham this afternoon. Does anyone know where it was going?

Sadly G-TLEL was destroyed by fire in an accident in which the pilot died after getting his passengers to jump out. G-HLEL is the only one flying at the moment I believe.

I stand corrected guys-you are right-it is HLEL-another 'typo' with the first letter,but the write-up is correct-sorry.
