Very quietly, the the worlds first flying Saucer - or Skyship as its designers
Very quietly, the the worlds first flying Saucer - or Skyship as its designers prefer to call it - eased itself into the air and science fiction became science fact. The setting for the radio-controlled, unmanned flight was the Royal Aircraft Establishment hangar at RAF Cardington formerlythe Royal Airship Works, built to house the ill-fated R101 airship.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a groundbreaking moment in history as the world's first flying saucer, or Skyship as its creators preferred to call it, defies gravity and takes flight. With an air of secrecy surrounding its development, this remarkable invention quietly ushers science fiction into the realm of reality. The scene unfolds within the Royal Aircraft Establishment hangar at RAF Cardington, once known as the Royal Airship Works. This vast structure was originally constructed to house the ill-fated R101 airship but now serves as a backdrop for this extraordinary event. It is here that engineers and visionaries have come together to push the boundaries of aviation. April 1975 marks a pivotal moment in human achievement as this radio-controlled and unmanned marvel gracefully lifts off from its resting place. The futuristic design of this flying saucer hints at endless possibilities for transportation and exploration beyond our wildest dreams. This photograph captures not only a significant technological breakthrough but also embodies the spirit of curiosity and innovation that drives humanity forward. As we gaze upon this image from decades past, we are reminded that progress often begins with quiet determination before making waves on a global scale. Let us celebrate these pioneers who dared to challenge conventional wisdom and turned what was once considered pure fantasy into tangible scientific advancement.
