Airship joy?
Wow. Following this blog I wrote on Futerra's website the other week I've since found out through my good buddy Jamie at www.loco2travel.com about the forthcoming airship that's a coming to good old London town this summer. Sponsored by Belgian superbrew Stella Artois, as the beer ad goes the trips through the skies above London will be reassuringly expensive starting at £185 a pop (though that's still a little cheaper than Branson's space twanging flights in his new rocket that will rob you of around £100,000). That said there's a huge visible message that will be sent by the very presence of the swollen blimp above our heads. Salience (the conspicuous or obvious nature of something) is key to changing environmental attitudes and behaviours (as we found whilst researching our 'New Rules' of communicating climate change) and hopefully seeing an airship floating sedately above our city will trigger a few moments of curiosity and intrigue...the first tentative steps in generating demand. The official website for the airship 'Star Over London' is here. I am now frantically trying to blag my way onto a flight!

I live on the top of Shooters Hill in London. I am not enjoying the Air Ship! Today I counted 14 times the air ship flying noisily at low level over my house and invading the privacy of myself, wife and children in my own back garden. I probably wouldn't complain if it was once or twice a day - but I am finding the frequency of these visits far too invasive. I'm sure this problem is made worse by the fact that living at such a high point in London means the air ship is nearer to our house than most others. Surely the flight path could be altered so it isn't just flying over one neighborhood or the same few houses all day long! This may seem like a trivial complaint but the Air Ship if flying over so regularly than I can tell you the schedule - I know the time when one is due and my wife comes in from the garden to avoid the noise and being spyed on while she sunbaths, like waiting for a train to pass.
