Abstract
VINCENT CRANE RICHMOND, who was killed in the disaster to the R101 on Sunday, Oct. 5, was the Assistant Director of Airship Development (Technical) at Cardington, and as such was responsible not only for the design work there but also for the control of airship research. He was born on Jan. 21, 1893. His education at the Royal College of Science, London, was that of a physicist rather than a mathematician, and it was indicative of his capacity that he was undertaking work that needed not only an understanding of those subjects but also considerable engineering knowledge as well.
