The story of a home-made airship
! with Anthony Smith
' The ground looks very full up if you are about to land on it. Farms, electricity, houses, hedges, trees-in fact trees suddenly predominate. They are everywhere and particularly straight ahead as you try to find an open patch, and you miss this tree and miss this tree and miss that one, and aim aU the time for a field.'
A story about an airship ... failure, success, endeavour. And a steadfast determination to get airborne in one of the nicest ways that has ever been devised.
Producer DOUGLAS Thomas. BBC Bristol
