these were over Liverpool in the early 90's. I'd forgotten I had these. found them along with some boss ones of the Liverpool waterfront pre new skyline which I shall scan in due course.

I like the clouds on that last picture, sets the tone of the pic!

Nice pics, quincy! Here's some info from Wikipedia:

"The main types of airship are non-rigid (or blimps), semi-rigid and rigid. Blimps are small airships without internal skeletons." From "Dirigible" on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirigible)

"The Hindenburg was not a blimp but a dirigible - an airship of rigid construction." From "Airship" on Wikipedia (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship)

So now you know. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Actually the blimps we see these days are pretty big aren't they so they're not exactly "small airships" which almost sounds more like the barrage balloons used during the war. :rolleyes:
