Vintage Travel and Aviation Party

I cannot believe how the time has flown and my eldest son, Tom, has just turned 7. Tom is a truly unique soul – knows his own mind, thinks right out the box, and has passionate ‘obsessions’ about some fairly unusual things! It used to be the Titanic – he knows everything about the Titanic, what happened, why it happened and how it happened.

How did we get to Blimps and Biplanes?

So, after a fairly long Titanic period, the newest obsession is with vintage (1920’s – 1950’s) blimps and biplanes. In case blimps and biplanes are not as much your thing as they are Tom’s, a blimp (technically a “pressure airship”) is a powered, steerable, lighter-than-air vehicle whose shape is maintained by the pressure of the gases within its envelope. OK?

And biplanes, well, they are just cool, you know? So, we combined these two obsessions, along with Tom’s love of anything retro and vintage into a Vintage Blimp and Biplane Party.

And it turned out pretty well! Anything vintage just makes for cool design and gorgeous classic photos – check it out!
