There was a lot of interest generated by Bruce’s visit to the Hybrid Air Vehicle (HAV) hangar at Cardington Airfield, Bedford last week to see Airlander 10’s progress.

HAV have now launched a Crowdfunder campaign to match a £3.4m government grant to get Airlander flying. If you’d like to find out more, or want to become involved in the Crowdfunder, click here.
