Hugh Banton in the Pilot's seat
The
vicar of Cardington, the Revd. Nigel Morrell, kindly gave us permission to
record and we moved in for the afternoon with our equipment. Here, Hugh is
listening to a playback. Judging by his expression, this was not the final
take. The church also displays the scorched Air Force ensign which was
flying from the lookout's cockpit at the far stern of the R.101 when it
crashed. Of the hundreds of thousands of square feet of fabric on the
airship, this was the only piece to survive.
