The first ship to come out of the Cardington airship facility was the R31. The ship was commissioned only 5 days before the Armistice on 11th November 1918
The sheds are now subject to a preservation order and one houses a six storey building used for Fire Research purposes. The other continues to be used for airship development and has recently been used as a sound stage for the Batcave set in the filming of the new Batman movie.
