Summary: Trial flight of Royal Navy airship R26 at Barrow-in-Furness, 20th March 1918.
Description: The airship is backed out of its hangar and prepared for flight. It lifts off, and flies away. Filmed from the ground through the fog it appears as a blur. It returns head-on and nose-down to the landing site, and is secured by the groundcrew. The camera stays in long shot throughout.
