List of British airships

The first British designed and built airship was constructed by Stanley Spencer, and on 22 September 1902 was flown 30 miles (48 km) from Crystal Palace, London to Ruislip, carrying an advertisement for baby food.

A large number of rigid and non-rigid airships were mainly used to counter the U-Boat campaign in World War I.

Since the 1970s, there have been persistent efforts to revive a British airship industry, using new designs, materials and technologies.

Two French-built airships, Clément-Bayard II and the Morning Post were operated by the British Army from 1910 to 1914.

[7] In addition to these airships, there were the following uncompleted projects: Vickers Types I - IV, Admiralty 'Y' Class, R103 and R104 [10]
