Airlander 10 'twerking' at Cardington,Bedfordshire, UK - 19 Apr 2017
The world's longest aircraft, dubbed has been caught twerking in the wind as engineers work to make the airship ready to fly again.
The GBP 25 million Airlander 10, which is part plane and part airship, was spotted in Bedfordshire, caught by a gust of wind, with its back lifting up above a field.
Witnesses initially believed the airship had broken loose from its moorings and nose-dived into the field, but a spokeswoman for the Airlander confirmed the craft was simply caught in a gust of wind.
Witness Paul Britton, 44, caught sight of the airship, saying: "We were walking past the field and suddenly saw the back end of the airship lift off the ground.
"The airship has been outside for a couple of weeks and is fastened to the ground."

The Airlander 10
Airlander 10, Cardington,Bedfordshire, UK - 19 Apr 2017
The back end of the world's largest aircraft, which is nicknamed The Flying Bum, reared up in the air during testing today/Weds at its base at Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire.
The Airlander 10 underwent extensive repairs after is crash-landed on its second flight from the airfield last August. On that occasion its mooring line got caught on power cables. THE two pilots were unharmed, but the cockpit was smashed.
The Airlander's manufacturers, Hybrid Air Vehicles, say they are carrying out final tests before flying restarts. As part of the repairs the aircraft has new inflatable feet.
A spokesperson for the company said there were no issues with the Airlander 10 today/Weds and that it occasionally lifts off the ground during testing.

Airlander 10 in Cardington
The Airlander 10 has come out of its hanger in Bedfordshire for the first time since it crashed last summer.
The GBP 25 million Airlander 10, which is part plane and part airship, was moved out of the hanger in Cardington in the darkness on Friday night.
Last August the aircraft nosedived on landing after its second flight, no one was injured in the accident, but the cockpit was destroyed and since then the 92-metre long aircraft has been undergoing extensive repairs at a hangar in Cardington.
The new-look airship has now been revealed and includes two huge inflatable 'airbags' which are stowed during the flight and protect the cock pit on landing.
The massive inflatable 'landing feet' are officially called an auxiliary landing system, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles.
They are one of a number of changes which have been made since the crash, which happened when the Airlander climbed to an excessive height because its mooring line became caught on power cables, an Air Accidents Investigation Branch report has now revealed.
'We had to look at how you stop 35 tonnes of airship coming down and squashing that composite flightdeck area' said Nick Allman, programmes director.
'The petals will hold the whole system up against the hull so it will give us no drag and no change in how the aircraft flies normally.
'When we are coming in to land the pilot has an activator that opens some valves and it uses the air from inside the aircraft to inflate the airbags in around 15 seconds.'
The airbags, which also allow the aircraft to land safely at a greater range of landing angles, are more than three metres in length and contain 15m3 gas.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch found the crash was caused when Airlander couldn't be secured to its mooring mast at the end of its ...

The Airlander 10 has come out of its hanger in Bedfordshire for the first time since it crashed last summer.
The GBP 25 million Airlander 10, which is part plane and part airship, was moved out of the hanger in Cardington in the darkness on Friday night.
Last August the aircraft nosedived on landing after its second flight, no one was injured in the accident, but the cockpit was destroyed and since then the 92-metre long aircraft has been undergoing extensive repairs at a hangar in Cardington.
The new-look airship has now been revealed and includes two huge inflatable 'airbags' which are stowed during the flight and protect the cock pit on landing.
The massive inflatable 'landing feet' are officially called an auxiliary landing system, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles.
They are one of a number of changes which have been made since the crash, which happened when the Airlander climbed to an excessive height because its mooring line became caught on power cables, an Air Accidents Investigation Branch report has now revealed.
'We had to look at how you stop 35 tonnes of airship coming down and squashing that composite flightdeck area' said Nick Allman, programmes director.
'The petals will hold the whole system up against the hull so it will give us no drag and no change in how the aircraft flies normally.
'When we are coming in to land the pilot has an activator that opens some valves and it uses the air from inside the aircraft to inflate the airbags in around 15 seconds.'
The airbags, which also allow the aircraft to land safely at a greater range of landing angles, are more than three metres in length and contain 15m3 gas.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch found the crash was caused when Airlander couldn't be secured to its mooring mast at the end of its ...
