A press photographer walks away as Britain's first military airship, HMA No 1, the 'Mayfly', lies broken in two in Cavendish Dock at the Vickers, Sons and Maxim works in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, 24th September 1911. The airship was wrecked by winds, while being taken from its shed for its first full trials. The Royal Navy subsequently abandoned the project.
