AIRSHIP R100 DAMAGED
READY FOR CANADIAN FLIGHT.
British Wireless. Rugby, April 24. The airship RlOO was transferred from the shed to mooring mast at Cardington this afternoon. Conditions were good when the handling party started to move the. airship, but before it wae wholly clear of the . shed, a cross wind caused the outside edge of the starboard elevator to scrape against the side of the shed.
An examination showed that the damage was slight, but the airship will be housed again in order to carry out repairs as quickly as possible. There is no. reason to think that the plans for the flight to Canada next month will be interfered with.
