The Final Flight of R101: A Tragic End to a Historical Journey (Mary Evans Prints Online) This evocative photograph captures the R101 airship as it prepares for its final descent at Cardington Airship Station in England on November 4, 1930. The R101 was a groundbreaking achievement in air transportation, with a length of 712 feet and a capacity to carry up to 78 passengers and crew. Its maiden voyage from Cardington to India via Egypt and Iraq had been a success, marking the beginning of a new era in long-distance air travel. However, the sense of triumph was short-lived. The R101 was scheduled to return to England on November 5, 1930, but fate had other plans. As the airship approached its destination, a sudden storm forced it to divert to Moorhouse Airfield in Beauvais, France. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the crew attempted to take off the following morning, but the R101 crashed just after takeoff, killing 44 of the 54 people on board. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the R101's final moments before its tragic end. The airship is seen hovering above the docking station, its massive size dwarfing the surrounding buildings. The crew members on the ground appear focused and determined, unaware of the impending disaster. The image is a testament to the ambition and innovation of the early days of air travel, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties that came with pushing the boundaries of technology and exploration. The R101 disaster marked the end of the airship era in Britain and led to a renewed focus on airplanes as the preferred mode of long-distance transportation. Today, this photograph stands as a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the human spirit of adventure that drove it.
