So we came back to England:

Saturday August 16th. 8.20 a.m. We have had breakfast and passed Avonmouth and Bristol; two aeroplanes came up from Filton and flew beside us for a little time. We are now sliding on over Gloucestershire on a direct course for Cardington.

This has not been a bad trip. We have done what we set out to do when we left England more or less at the time scheduled, and at this stage of airship development I think that constitutes a good performance. It is a pity that the fin went on the way over, but one has to gain experience.

10.0 a.m. G.M.T. Over Bedford; we have about 3200 gallons of petrol left. 56½ hours from the time we left Montreal. We can see the aerodrome; there are not more than fifty cars in all to see us arrive. We slink in unhonoured and unsung in the English style, rather different to the welcome that we had in Montreal.

11.0 a.m. Locked home (to the mast). There are now about 200 cars in all. Time of passage, 57½ hours.
