Wonderful work by somebody who cares about transmitting the wonders of industrial history to us folks who didn't get so much formal education.

[@mcorrade]

Bill thank gawd your back. We missed you my friend!!!

[@RohanBeckett]

Just finished listening to the audiobook! Great work! a really interesting listen! Being a local to Melbourne, you had a few mispronunciations (Gippsland), but it didn't detract at all from a very well-read, and fascinating subject! Looking forward to future audiobooks from you!

[@engineerguyvideo]

+Rohan Beckett I looked that up ... and hoped I got it right -- likely dandenong was wrong also! Thx for being forgiving.

[@RohanBeckett]

Gippsland is with a hard G, like in give... Dandenong was fine... but most overseas people have a habit of saying Melbourne how it is written, when locally we say 'Mell-Bun' .. it really was interesting to hear that someone, who lived just near me, played a big hand in the British Airshop program!

[@derekakien7379]

Reviting. Great explanation.

[@bg2k625]

It's, umm...let's say...'fascinating' that given all weigh restrictions that led them to use hydrogen as the lifting gas and to add an extra sectio to increase lift, they still insisted on all the upper class luxuries. I mean, a smoking room-with a metal floor-on a hydrogen airship. Seriously?

[@sixstringedthing]

The luxury was an essential part of the design of these airships intended as ocean liners of the skies, in the same way that steamship lines were constantly competing to launch the grandest and most luxurious vessels to capture the imaginations of the wealthy public. Bare, noisy, fume-filled and cramped quarters were okay for military airships and crew, but certainly not for the kind of well-to-do patrons who were the target market for this new form of travel. The hydrogen-filled design (and addition of the extra gas bag) was basically a workaround enabling adequate lift to haul all that luxury into the sky, it simply couldn't be done with helium. The luxuries themselves were non-negotioble design constraints, if they were left out there would have been no point building the airships at all.
