The R31 class of British rigid airships was constructed in the closing months of World War I and comprised two aircraft His Majesty’s Airship R31 and R32. They were designed by the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors – with assistance from a Herr Müller who had defected to Britain and previously worked for the Schütte-Lanz airship company – and built by Short Brothers at the Cardington airship sheds.
