I have a photo of the British R-100 airship taken by my Dad when it visited St. Hubert Quebec in August of 1930. Mom and my two brothers and my sister are in the foreground. Actually I am in the picture also but you would need ultrasound as I was not born until December.
I will have to scan it.

The American ones crashed too. They just didn't burn.
Sooner or later, they'd get caught in the wrong wind.
