During a storm on the night of October 13, the Airship suffered potentially serious damage to her port tail fin when a piece of the fabric came loose. Temporary repairs were made by riggers hanging outside the ship while her engines were
stopped. Without forward motion the ship would lose lift, and therefore altitude. Consequently, when the ship drifted to within a few hundred feet of the ocean's surface, the riggers would scramble back inside and the engines would be restarted
to create lift and return to a safe altitude.
In an article in the Belfast News Letter of October 24, 1928, Mr. Gilfillan was quoted saying, "To my mind, cross Atlantic Zeppelin services will not be practicable for many, many
years, not until they can build airships with more powerful engines and proportionately larger. They have to be capable of a minimum speed of 100 miles an hour in the teeth of a head wind" . (Image)
