CARDINGTON SHEDS
@cardingtonsheds.bsky.social
A 40 somthing cardington sheds fan. Slightly airship obsessive with a humorous undertone and a natural dislike of destructive, dangerously placed housing estates round the airship sheds at Cardington.
95 years ago, the British airship HMA R101 crashed in the early hours of the 05/10/30.

Today, we remember those souls lost.

#R10195

There will be a church service at St Marys church this afternoon at 3 pm in memory of all those lost in this terrible accident 95 years ago.

But what was it for?

Any galvanised roof specialists out there? How long before the rust causes an issue with losing sheets off the roof of the Cardingtons Shed 2.

The models are pretty cool, too.

I'm part of the team that is working on the museum part.

2 ships, 1 shed. Good for showing R101s scale compared to the first Skyship 600.

Airship R38 only just fitting in the original 700 ft long Cardington shed. The shed was later enlarged to 812 feet in length, and the roof also raised with alterations to the Annexe to what we have today with Shed 1.
