PROVENANCE:
The artist
Thence by family descent
Announced in 1925 but not completed until 1929 the R101 was to be the jewel in the crown of the Airship Development Committee's accomplishments. Measuring 777 ft in length, and weighing 257,395 lbs the vessel was built in order to transport 100 passengers and 42 Crew at a cruising speed 63 mph to the farthest reaches of the British Empire including India, Australia and Canada.
On its maiden foreign voyage on October 4th, 1930 complications rose after enduring issues with the ship's oil pressure system and severe weather conditions. The ship came down near Beauvais, France and 48 souls where tragically lost. The inquiry into the events cited a sudden and catastrophic failure as the only explanation marking an end of British attempts to create lighter-than-air aircraft.
