Judge at the Airship Heritage Museum

One of the other buildings of the old Airship Works housed, until recently, the unique archive and collection of the Airship Heritage Trust . Here I am admiring one of the original wiring 'centroids' of the R.100, one of Barnes Wallis's radical and brilliant design solutions to the problems he encountered on his way to achieving the first example of geodesic construction, the engineering theory he was to later bring to perfection with the Wellington Bomber. With the closure of the RAF station at Cardington, the Airship Heritage Trust's museum has been transferred to premises at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden.
