I had the privilege to watch the wonderful documentery about the tour around the world of the Graf Zeppelin. What an amazing story with the nice report of lady Grace and her feelings for Karl von Wiegand.
We enjoyed it very much.

Hi Rae Tait,
if you click on the link for the documentary here you are relocated to this site (http://www.bigpete.com/webshop.html) where you can purchase the DVD.
Answering you question, no, I am not related to her, but as of now I am writing on what can be called a biographical document. Therefore it would be fantastic if we could exchange our e-mail addresses and if we could discuss the whole matter en detail. My address is peter.diderich@t-online.de
It would be really nice to hear from you.

Dear Rae Tait,
your last post is now almost two years ago. Since I saw the documentary I’ve been infatuated with Lady Drummond-Hay, and I’m also extremely interested in getting copies of the letters you possess. Lady Hay’s correspondence is highly interesting for me. I wonder if we could find a solution for this. I’d pay for any of your inconvenience, of course. Further, if your aunty received letters from Lady Hay, they must’ve had a relationship. Therefore it would be interesting to know more about your aunt and why they stayed in contact. Kindest regards, Peter. PS: I’m working on a scientific paper about her, so any information would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

Apparently that was a shot of a different airship. The Graf Zeppelin could not land on the ocean, only on a calm lake. It seems this amazing film was not a documentary really as there was “dramatic License” taken by the producers.

Great documentary, interesting. I taped it. Shown on TVO in Ontario, Canada.

Likely one can get a copy for reference on ebay. If it’s printed, or shown, it will appear there. Great and interesting about the Zepplin. thanks for making it.

In this beautiful day of November 28, 2010, through http://twitter.com/Airships I went to the website (http://beta.uitzendinggemist.nl/afleveringen/1013339), where I was finally able, after years and years of dreaming that it will be existing somewhere,(from childhood !) I experience the images and high emotions of the amazing FAREWELL document… Indescribably beautiful, invaluable historical document about human dreams and emotions…
A huge and warm thank you to Ditteke Mensink, who built this wonderful film FAREWELL, with images that will remain forever engraved in the hearts of those who admire the great explorers of our past century …
After that i search web for hours to find the DVD that I really want to keep like a tresor… AND I FINALLY FOUND IT HERE : http://www.bol.com/nl/p/dvd/farewell/1002004010513818/index.html
What a wunderful christmas gift isn’it ?
Good bye dear Zeppelin fan… I’m a part now too ))

Grace was my great-aunt, and I supplied some information for the film as well have quite a few letters and pictures. Let me know if you need any help
