Wee brother sent me this on Facebook. It's from the BBC archive. Took a while to find a link that would not open FB.

This is an FSX screenie from 2007, using the Visual Flight photoscenery with the JBK Brabazon over Ron Salt's airship sheds at Cardington - relics of another glorious failure.

Great find Mike.
What a beast of thing, but oddly graceful in flight.

1950!
I remember it well!
I passed my Motorcycle Test, and got my; Motorcycle Licence, at the age of 16!
When Men wore Trilby Hats, and the Ladies wore Dresses and Skirts!
...and the World was; "Normal"!

Happy times!.... :rolleyes: ...!

Paul.... :UK: ....!

Great indeed!
A cabin the you could fly a kite in!
Not 4 but 8 motors!
An industry that could support half a dozen or more major aircraft companies, and just write off a 6 million pound doodle to experience.
Thanks Mike sent me off down the rabbit hole, that one...
