Good Vintage Photograph – British Army Dirigible No2A 1910

This photo taken around 1910 shows a British army dirigible, on the back of the pic it suggests that it is 'No2A' but my research indicates that it might be the earlier version known as Beta 1, below is a bit of history for the model. This picture comes in very good condition with signs of age and measures 7 inches x 5. The Beta 1 was a non-rigid airship constructed for experimental purposes in the United Kingdom by the Army Balloon Factory in 1910. Reconstructed as Beta II, it was used successfully by the British Army and then by the Royal Naval Air Service as HMA No.17, and was finally struck off charge in 1916
