It had broken away from its mooring mast the previous day, and a 'fail safe' system deflated the gas bags to bring it down. Why it broke away from its mooring an a calm clear windless day it not clear!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your very quick visit! I had only just written the description.
A quick examination of the wreckage suggests your theory is correct!!!!!

Looks like a politician after losing an election (or maybe an entire party)

They are not having much luck with this project

Thank you Nick,

Yes, somewhat deflated to say the least!!

I am still unclear as to why it broke away from its moorings on a very calm still day....

Thank you Rosa,

I am happy that you appreciated my efforts here! I wanted to include the hangars, as it lives there, and to make a reasonable picture on what was a dull miserable day.
It does beg the question as to why the rest of the world gave up with zeppelin's before we were even born!

Best Wishes
Peter
