Memorial service for 1930 airship disaster
A memorial service will be held in Bedfordshire to commemorate the victims of an airship disaster more than 80 years ago.
The R101 was the largest airship of its time but after taking off from its base in Cardington in 1930 it crashed the next day in France.
The Air Minister was one of 48 people killed.
The accident ended British airship development and led to a period of national mourning.
