Goodyear Lightship - Spirit Of Safety I

Making a welcome return to Halfpenny Green is a Lightship A60+ in the shape of the Goodyear liveried G-HLEL.

Once home to part of the Lightship Co, A60+ Blimps were a regular site at Halfpenny Green in many different advertising schemes but G-HLEL is the first to return for a number of years.

Constructed in 1995 and previously registered N610LG, Spirit Of Safety I only took up its UK registration on 15/3/2011 before emerging from the iconic Cardington Hangars a few days later.

Unfortunately during its stay at Halfpenny Green the weather precluded most of its flights but hopefully sister ship Spirit Of Safety II will also visit and lets hope the weather is a lot kinder.
