URPoint Details
From the distance near Cardington, the green hangers of the famous airships stand dominating the landscape. It was here the fateful R101 took off in the 1930 for India, crashing near Beauvais with a loss of 46 lives. The torn RAF ensign of the R101 is in the Church and the victims are buried in the churchyard across the road.
The Bell Public House has a photographic gallery depicting the history of the Airships.
