I am skeptical unless it was on the 22 hr/45 min test flight #4. Could he be correct? Dan,

After it made a roundtrip publicity flight to Toronto, after the R101 crashed in France, it was flattened by a steamroller and sold for scrap. The R-100 was one of two British passenger airships.

I would mention that she passed over Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock which were both bombed heavily in the subsequent war.

The zepplin's picture was taken over top of the parliment buildings on University avenue in Toronto. The lettering R-100 is clearly visable on the front third of the airship.On the back of the frame thereis writing that says this. R-100 german zepplin,crossed ocean and visited Toronto in late 1920's, probably 1927. It later burned near New York that same trip. On the bottom right hand side of the pictureis the name Baxter Toronto. Probably the photographers name. I would appreciate any information I could get.

Reportedly, it had "the large NAZI sign on its side". If this is correct, it must have been the Hindenburg, but did this airship ever make a trip across the Caribbean? In the published Hindenburg flight schedule I can't find info on this. I am tempted to think that what actually passed over Saba island was a US Navy blimp and that the "nazi sign" story was inspired by later pictures and stories about the Hindenburg disaster. If so is there a source of info on the use of blimps in US Navy fleet exercises in the Caribbean Sea that would fit the described situation? Thanks for your help. For info: I am not an airship buff, but rather I am writing a history of aviation in the Dutch Antilles islands, of which Saba is one. Thanks, Jerry Casius, Ysselmuiden, Holland.
