Should we move/rename this article from Airship R101 to just R101 like most of the other airship articles or leave it as it is? -- William13 10:03, 5 Feb 2005

I concur, we should be consistent. I'll do the move. Noel (talk) 15:25, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why is this entry linked to the category 'airborne aircraft carriers?' I am not aware of the R101 ever having carried or launched a smaller aircraft (such as the Akron and the Macon launched biplanes from trapezes on their hulls, for example). Furthermore, the weight and balance issues which plagued the R101 from the outset would have made any experimentation in that line pretty much impossible, I'd have thought. Unless someone can come up with a reference or citation for this, I suggest that this category link should go.

You are correct. I have removed it.Malcolma 22:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
