One of two airship sheds at the former RAF Cardington, built in 1916 as part of the UK's airship project. Each is 812 ft long, 180 ft wide and 157 ft high and contains 4000 tons of steel. It was from here that the R101 left on her ill fated voyage to India, only to crash at Bauvais in France in October 1930. This resulted in the dismantling of sister ship R100 and the end of the airship programme.
