Yes and ironically the First NT Ship was built in the UK at Cardington - I rember seeing it and its predecessors from airship industrys flying over bedfordshire.
Quite a shock to see one of the Airship Industry Airships parked at Cranfield when I got to work one morning
Yes seeing cool planes was a big bonus working on campus at Cranfield University - One time another company there had a IX Spit that they where rebuilding it was refueled about 50 yards from my office we all went out and watched as it put on a display.
