'Flying Bum' edges out of hangar before debut flight

The Airlander 10, the largest aircraft in the world, during its maiden flight at Cardington airfield in Bedfordshire. Airships have a history stretching back to the 19th century, although their use was curtailed by competition from airplanes in the 20th century and high-profile accidents such as the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.
