Now, as I see it......

The Flying Bum - flying

I was just about to leave the house to go swimming this morning when I saw on Facebook that the Airlander was making its second test flight. Having missed the maiden flight, I drove over to have a look, and very impressive it looked too! My shot is of it coming in to land, and I've added an extra of it a bit further out.

Sadly, the landing didn't go well; it came in nose-down and the cockpit was damaged before it went back up in the air, and then landed safely. No-one was injured but there will be some repairs required before the next flight, and some enquiries as to what went wrong.
