    Does anyone have any information on the mooring mast/tower that was to have accommodated the R101 airship if it had arrived in Ismailia (Egypt). i.e when was it removed, what happened to it etc?

    		I cannot find much about this but have found the following:- www.aht.ndirect.co.uk/learn/Press%20Releases/R101/Page2.htm
    The flight will be made from The Royal Airship Works, Cardington, Bedford, to India via Egypt, where a stop will be made for re-fuelling purposes at the Airship Base situated at Ismailiain the Canal Zone. This Base is equipped with a Mooring Tower similar in all respects to the one at Cardington, and also with a Silcol Hydrogen Plant which has an output of about 60,000cubic feet per hour.
