	R100 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The HM Airship R100 was a rigid airship, the successful private counterpart to the British government R101 project, in a competition intended to maximize innovation.
		Constructed at the former RNAS Station at Howden in Yorkshire, the Vickers-built competitor flew to the Government airship establishment at Cardington, Bedfordshire on its maiden flight in the morning of 16 December 1929.
		Three options were considered: a complete refit of R100 and continuation of tests for the eventual construction of R102; static testing of R100 and retention of about 300 staff to keep the program 'ticking over'; or retention of staff and the scrapping of the airship.

		With the decision to construct two ships, one by the Royal Airship Works and the other by a commercial contractor, the contract for the R100 had been awarded to Vickers, who were seen as one of the best airship constructors considering their history with lighter than air craft.
		On 13th August 1930 the R100 was then required to go on a "local" flight where it was received excitedly by all the towns she crossed over.
		The R100 was deflated on 11th December 1930 and "hung" in the shed.

		It was one of the airship disasters, along with the Hindenberg disaster that coloured public opinion of lighter-than-air craft.
		Vickers was to produce the R100 airship and the Air Ministry, the R101.
		Its competitor, the R100, despite a more successful development program, and a safe transatlantic trial flight, was mothballed immediately after the R101's crash and sold for scrap in 1931.

	The R100/R101 Airships Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The issue was resolved by having two airships built, one by private industry and one by a special government research and development facility in the Air Ministry.
		Since hydrogen was plentiful on the airship someone in government decided that the engines for propelling and navigating the airships should be fueled by hydrogen.
		The models were called the R100 (private industry) and the R101 (government).Vickers put together the design team and withdrew from the public eye at Crayford in Kent.

	British Airship R100
		The R100 was designed and constructed by a private subsidiary of Vickers, while R101 was built by a competing government agency.
		The R100, when completed in 1930, was the size of an ocean liner and could carry 100 passengers in comfort at a speed of 81 miles per hour.
		However, the crash of R101 with heavy loss of life later that year spelled the end of the Imperial Airship Scheme, and though she had proved to be a good design, R100 was scrapped in 1931.

		Fig.2 shows the lounge of the R100 Airship showing how luxurious, for its day, the accommodation was [3].
		Incidentally helium was not used either on the R100 or R101 since it was "not commercially available except in the U.S. where its export is prohibited" [3].

		In the summer of 1930, the arrival of the British dirigible R100 from England thrills Quebecers who gather along the shores of the St-Lawrence to see this giant of the air floating gently towards Montreal.
		During that flight, a gear train breaks up and the R100 looses one of its six propellers when it falls in the river.
		A series of tragic accidents, among which the well publicized explosion of the Hindenburg in New York in 1937, eventually put a term to hydrogen filled airships, in spite of some undeniable successes such as the 151 Atlantic crossings of the Graf Zeppelin.

	Andy Burgess Review of To Ride the Storm
		After a brief introduction to airships in general we are presented with a potted biography of Christopher Birdwood Thomson, which then drifts into a description of the start of the 1924 airship programme, which Thomson promoted as Minister for Air in the first Labour government.
		The main interest lies in a footnote where he claims that Norway did not like some repairs that were done to R100 and that this and the refusal to give him a job at Cardington led to his hostility to the R101 and the Cardington team.
		If the airship programme is of interest then it is a reasonably well-written account from one perspective and does include large amounts of technical detail.

		The Howden airship station was left to run down and the town's fortunes with it.

		The first airship shed was built on the site that year, named 'Building 80', by A J Main and Co Ltd. In 1918 the launch of the R31 saw the beginning of Cardington's airship building.
		The R100 airship was built in Yorkshire and the decision was made to build another giant airship, the R101, at Cardington.
		In 1931 the Government decided to stop further airship development and the R100 was scrapped and sold for £450 despite its successful flight to Canada.
