A day in the life of an airship's crew, an airship adventure. The A60+ Lightship 1996 journey back home from Germany to Britain,
piloted by Australian hero blimp pilot Michael Nerandzic and his crew.
Years later, on the night of 12 June 2011, Mr Michael Nerandzic saved the lives of three passengers when the airship he was piloting caught fire over Reichelsheim Airfield, Friedberg, Germany.
The blimp had run into difficulty on its landing approach in Oberursel.
Mr Nerandzic, 52, of Balgownie, ordered his three passengers to jump to the ground from a height of about 2m. The drop in weight as the passengers disembarked is believed to have caused the burning craft to shoot 50m into the sky with the veteran pilot still aboard. The wreck came down in an empty field.
