Period
August 1930.
Canada
The visit of the British rigid airship R100 was one of the greatest aeronautical events that took place in Canada during the interwar period. Some sections of the fabric outer cover of the airship had to be replaced during the stay at St. Hubert airport as a result of damage suffered during the transatlantic flight from the United Kingdom. The pieces of fabric that fell to the ground proved irresistible to the visitors that flocked to the airport. According to numerous evaluations of the fabric sample, the red tinge on the underside is unique to the airship's outer fabric. The larger piece of fabric offered to the corporation is stamped and signed by the aircrew and the engineers that worked on the R100 airship. According to an evaluator, there may be at least one signature of an individual that survived the later R101 accident. La visite du dirigeable R100 britannique était l'un des plus grands moments aéronautiques qui a eu lieu au Canada dans la période de l'entre-guerre. Certaines sections du tissu extérieur du dirigeable ont été remplacés à l'aéroport de St. Hubert en raison de dommage souffert lors du vol trans-atlantique venant du Royaume-Uni. Les échantillons de tissus qui se sont retrouvés au sol ont été ramassés rapidement par les spectateurs qui étaient à l'aéroport. Selon plusieurs évaluations des échantillons, la teinte rouge sur le dessous est unique au tissu extérieur du dirigeable. La plus grande pièce de tissu offerte à la société est étampée et aussi signé par l'équipage du dirigeable et ainsi que les ingénieurs qui ont travaillé à bord. Selon un des évaluateurs, on y retrouve possiblement une des signatures d'un individu qui aura survécu l'accident du dirigeable R101.
Function
Material souvenir of the brief stay at St. Hubert airport to see the British rigid airship R100. Un souvenir matériel de la courte visite du dirigeable R100 britannique à l'aéroport de St. Hubert.
Technical
This piece of fabric does not hold much technical significance. However, its importance lies in the fact that it is an important physical object related to a major aeronautical event in Canadian history. Cet échantillon de tissu n'a pas beaucoup d'importance technique. Cela dit, son importance est le fait que c'est un objet physique important relié à un grand évènement aéronautique en histoire canadienne.
