Blimp me up Scotty...
Posted by: Ed Gillespie
Oh yes...my airship fantasies (I am that type of geek) received a boost yesterday when I read this http://tinyurl.com/4kq4mo in the Guardian about the imminent return of Zeppelin's to our skies. they're only being used as a promotional gimmick right now but how can we resist the populist potential of their visible presence overhead and the images of a gentler age of travel that didn't ravage our atmosphere like modern aviation. With a Transatlantic journey anticipated to take around 43 hours, with the possibility of a swimming pool, ballroom and space to shake a leg how can we resist. Blimp me up indeed...
