Absolutely fascinating.
Leeds Bradford Airport has a long and storied history, including an encounter with some of history’s most famous planes and aircraft.
In 1936, the German Zeppelin Hindenburg flew over Bradford and near to the airport on a return trip from America. This zeppelin became famous all over the world when, in New Jersey in 1937, it burst into flames and exploded on its landing pad, killing 36 people. By the end of the war, there was less need for the bombers and so the factory was closed down and by 1947, civilian flights were once again flying from Leeds Bradford Airport.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing however. In 1965, disaster struck and the airport’s terminal was destroyed in a fire. To put this in some historical context, 1976 was just one year after the death of Spain’s dictator and just two years after the fall of Portugal’s dictatorship.
