A recent acquisition is the cover of the last ever edition of The War Illustrated, published on 8 February 1919. The entire cover is taken up with a photograph taken onboard an NS-class airship “on duty above the waters”. It shows two of the crew relaxing at the rear of the car (it seems from other photographs this is the favoured perch when not ‘on duty’) while an engineer tends the port engine. The image can be found in the NS-Class Gallery.
NS11 – As Bright As Day is very much a work in progress and has been made possible by the generous and enthusiastic support of many individuals and organisations. If you have any information, records or material relating to British NS Class airships we would be very interested to hear from you – especially anyone related to members of the crew of NS11 or any airship of the class during their service with the RNAS or RAF during and beyond WWI.
