Tim Mixon:
Wow!  I’ve never seen that cammo pattern on the balloon fabric. Really cool footage.  Thanks for sharing this!

Dirigible-Al:
Note the metal helmets worn by the ground crew. I wonder if there was ever an instance when two accidently knocked into each other, created a spark and ignited the hydrogen.
