Dirigible Magazine

Dirigible is the Airship Heritage Trust’s in-house magazine, issued free of charge three times a year to members. Dirigible Magazine covers a wide range of airship topics, from the early days of lighter-than-air travel to more recent decades.

The library contains all of our editions, starting from the first edition in April 1989, up to the present day.

The Dirigible Archive contains a wealth of articles from editions published when the organisation first started, often submitted by the founder members of the Trust and relatives of the airship crews. Many of the articles have never been published in books, and often contain the latest research and updates on the history of lighter-than-air travel.

We also have a membership newsletter, which can be found on the Newsletters page

Should you wish to complete your collection of magazines, back copies of the Dirigible magazine are available in hard copy. If you require a copy, please contact us for details. Please note that some editions are no longer available. We also have a number of dark blue Dirigible Binders available to hold your back copies perfectly. Each binder can hold up to 12 editions, equating to 4 years of magazines. Please contact us for details.

The Airship Heritage Trust Journal – Dirigible – occasionally receives requests from readers for information about artefacts they have come across or for answers to questions related to airship history, to which no one in the readership responds.

A selection of these unsolved mysteries is now being put before a wider audience on this website. If any reader can help in any way with information concerning any of the following, then the editor would be delighted to hear from them.
