Of course I recall the photo. I already posted it in this thread. Also posted my concerns about wind. People must be glance reading again. ;)

Oh and just for good measure.....Zepp rulz! :rock:

@ Torplexed:
I owe you an apology, when I reacted to your earlier posting I had not properly read your text. You were indeed talking about the US Zeppelin fleet and not about the Hindenburg.
My excuse is that I am so used looking at your postings more than reading them...
(isn't that a slick lawyer's remark?) :rotfl:

What he said.


@ Abraham
Thanks.

No need to apologize Abraham or JSL. :D I've been guilty of the same thing myself on many an occasion.

You're right...I probably should have used some sort of eye-arresting imagery to start the post off. Can't imagine what. ;)

They stay docked, just like in the olden days. :down:

And if it gets windy when its half way across the atlantic?
Does it drop anchor?! :doh:

I wonder if they will ever invent a hellicopter so big that it will need a anchor for storms :hmm:

To be more accurate, in the olden days they had to try to predict the weather for pretty much all the crossing. Often the trips had to be delayed for days, weeks. And that despite having nice weather at the docking area. And when a storm lied ahead and they were already en route, they use to avoid the storm just like today, if they could that is… :know:

By the way, she doesn't look too ... hmm, let's say too bright. Is she a dumb blonde that dyed her hair? :D

Well....submarines and zeppelins too. That and all the WW2 trivia oughta do it. :D

Yeah an older drawing. Not very good. :down:

I do enjoy drawing ships and planes but in this era of 3-D artwork there isn't much call for the old 2-D stuff. Doesn't have much personality either.
