	Christopher Birdwood Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This second term in office was cut short by tragedy as Thomson died in the crash of the R101 airship, a government designed derigible on its maiden flight to Karachi in October 1930.
		It was Thomson himself who had initiated the programme in 1924 and he who had rushed through the development of the R101: the privately (Vickers) built R100 was demonstrably more reliable.
		Thomson's vision of a uniquely British form of intercontinental passenger travel would only be realised by subsequent Labour governments' development of the Concorde.
