BBC: Airlander 10: Maiden flight delayed at last minute
Quote:
The maiden flight of the world's longest aircraft has been postponed at the last minute because of a "technical issue".
The Airlander 10 - part plane, part airship - was due to take off from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire on Sunday.
The aircraft measures 302ft (92m) long and is about 50ft (15m) longer than the biggest passenger jets.
