Goodyear Blimp

Today is a Blimpless day in the UK, but it returns on Saturday – and Goodyear is offering Blimp fans a chance to win a ride on board. Head over to Goodyear’s Facebook page, and you could be floating above London tomorrow.

Those of you in London and the south of England should keep their eyes on the skies next week, for the Goodyear Blimp is returning. Goodyear tells us that the Blimp will be above the London area on 11 and 12 May. From there, it will travel to Brands Hatch for the second round of the British Touring Car Championship on 14 and 15 May, where it will provide aerial coverage of the race.

Fingers crossed for good weather over the Channel and southern England today – the Goodyear Blimp is getting ready to head towards the coast after spending yesterday floating above London. Goodyear has tweeted several spectacular views photographed by the pilot, so it is well worth checking @goodyear_uk for more during the course of today. You can follow the Blimp’s progress on Plane Finder.
