  1. As soon as anyone says "this was of course due to socialism" you can, if you wish, disregard anything they say from then on as they might just have a political agenda, let alone debate whether the Labour government of that time could actually be called socialist, with a big S, or even a little one. . Let's just put it this way - how many capitalist/fascist/non-socialist countries made a success out of airships for intercontinental travel in the 20s and 30s. I will buy you a pint of beer for each one who did.

  3. Hydrogen was also ever so cheap to produce in the volumes needed - this would have been a good addition to the video - helium really was not an option.

  4. Good video, good research and well presented. It's great see to see so many people smoking next to the early airplanes, and hydrogen filled giants, and not catch fire.
