EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical photograph, the aftermath of a tragic accident unfolds as an Army airship, identified as the Morning Star Lebaudy Dirigible, lies in ruins after crashing into Woodlands Cottage, the residence of Captain and Lady Follett, in Farnborough, Hampshire. The incident occurred near the Farnborough to Farnham road in 1911. The image captures the extent of the damage caused to the cottage, with debris scattered across the lawn and the roof of the building appearing to have been severely damaged. The once majestic airship, a symbol of innovation and progress, now lies in complete wreckage. Despite the devastating scene, it is a relief to note that no serious injuries were reported as a result of the accident. A salvage operation was immediately initiated, and the night was spent meticulously dismantling the remains of the airship. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of aviation and the risks that pioneers of this field took in their pursuit of exploration and discovery. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and innovation in advancing technology, as the airship industry continued to evolve and improve in the years that followed this unfortunate incident. The tranquil setting of the English countryside, with its lush greenery and quaint cottage, contrasts sharply with the chaos and destruction caused by the crash, making for a poignant and thought-provoking image. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the stories that lie hidden within it.
