For the past three seasons, we’ve been engaged in a knock-down drag-out battle for Google rank with the Flying Cloud Farm in Petaluma and the Wikipedia entry for the well-known clipper ship. Usually, The Flying Cloud Farm has claimed the top spot. We can hardly begrudge them this, for they’re a commercial operation, with bills to pay and profits to earn, and by all accounts, they’re also a fine place to visit – I recommend them to any of you who might pass through Sonoma County. At other times, Donald MaKay’s masterpiece has taken the lead. This too, is something we must approve of, for the ship was a legend in her time – fast, beautiful, and she always got her people home. But there are moments when ranch resorts and clipper ships give way to our favorite airship crew. One of these occurred last week. I’ve attached a screen shot as record of the occasion. And I’d like to thank all you readers and supporters for making this possible. The Royal Navy Airship Service owes you a debt of gratitude!
