Ghost of R101
This is the sadly neglected shed No 1 once used for housing the mighty airships. The ill-fated R101 was often seen round these parts during its trials and left from this very place before crashing near Beauvais in France en route to India in 1930 http://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/r101/Crash/R101_Crash.htm , effectively scuppering any further development of the extra large aircraft. Meantime, the German zeppelins ruled the lighter than air skies until 1937.
More recently, plans to recreate enormous volumed ships as 'floating cranes' have emerged http://www.cargolifter.com/index.php?id=8&L=1 , so we may yet see them return to the skies.
