And a jolly good ride it was to. When I've sorted the rest I'll post
them up.

You sure that's not just a screen shot from a SIMS game? ;-)

Cool, is that out of Friedrichshafen ?
I know they have the zepplin museum there which I've been meaning to visit
for years.

You & me both.
Hugo Eckener is one of my heroes - I've got his biography, Dr Eckener's
Dream Machine, which is also the history of the Zepps.
Amazing story, amazing machines, amazing man. The round-the-world trip
by the Graf Zeppelin is just one of the truly great stories in the book.
I've often wondered if there would be enough fare-paying passengers
these days to make a transatlantic airship viable, but I suppose if one
ever gets built, it'll be for cargo lifting.
It woul be nice to have a modular construction, thobut, so you could
remove the cargo hangar and replace it with cabins, public rooms, etc.

We have a supplier just up the road in Leutkirch who I visit 2 / 3 times a
year.
Can you book trips in advance, or was it a work thing ?

Cool. I haven't been in one of those yet.
