The R34 was a rigid airship built for the Royal Air Force in early 1919. In July of that year she became the first aircraft to make an east-west transatlantic flight, lasting 108 hours returning a week later in half the time. (The first ever non-stop transatlantic flight had been completed (west-east) only the previous month by Alcock and Brown in a modified Vickers Vimy bomber). The R34, nicknamed 'Tiny' by her crew, was vast, measuring 634 metres in length. Unfortunately, in January 1921 after damage in a storm over the Yorkshire moors she was decommissioned.
