The world's longest aircraft dubbed the 'Flying Bum' was seriously damaged on Saturday after it slipped its moorings and crashed into a field. Pictures have emerged of the 20-tonne Airlander 10's canopy completely collapsed after the prototype plummeted to the ground. Its manufacturers Hybrid Air Vehicles had carried out test flights on Friday before police were called to a site close to its hangars in Cardington, Bedfordshire, today. No one was on board. However, HAV said a woman member of its staff suffered minor injuries in the incident and she was taken to hospital as a 'precaution' before being discharged. Source
