Hi Geoff:
Regarding rain in the hanger. At the former Naval Air Station at Moffett
Field calif. I have seen it cloud tp and rain in the dirigable hanger. #1.
This was built in the early thirties, to house the "Los Angeles". Which was
lost in a storm some time later. As far as the Lucas thing. This is the
first Ive heard of it. I thought that Marelli and some other outfit took
them over some time ago.
Cheers:
