Cardington became one of the major British sites involved in the development of airships in 1915. The airships site was nationalised in April 1919, becoming known as the Royal Airship Works.

n preparation for the R101 project the No 1 shed was extended between October 1924 and March 1926; its roof was raised by 35 feet and its length increased to 812 feet. The No. 2 shed (Southern shed) was originally located at RNAS Pulham, Norfolk. It was dismantled there and re-erected at Cardington in 1928.

After the crash of the R101, in October 1930, all work stopped in Britain on airships. Cardington then became a storage station.

IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER SCENE IN THE SAME LOCATION IN 2020 AND WILL MODIFY THESE OTHER SCENES TO ALLOW IMMERSION INTO THE 1930'S. YOU WILL HAVE TO MANAGE THEM BY INSTALLING/UNINSTALLING THEM IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 1935 AND TODAY.

RWG FRANCE 1935 is an optional add-on increasing even more immersion by changing planes, services and countries ... but is not essential.

THERE IS NO AIRSHIP PROVIDED WITH THIS SCENRY
