on BBC Two England

A tale of courage, ingenuity and talent in the face of everything a hostile fate can throw at an enterprise.
In the same hangar which housed the ill-fated R101-Britain's last attempt to lead the world in airship technology - a small team of young men have battled to build the airship of the future. For the last 18 months this film has followed their fortunes.
For Roger Munk , the designer, what started as the chance to fulfil a dream turned into a struggle against pressures of time, money - and the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing risk.
