CONNECT a computer to 7,560 small plastic lamps and 80 miles of wire and what do you get? Answer: multi-coloured messages and animations more than 105ft long and 25ft high flashed on the 200ft envelope of the Goodyear airship. The display can be seen clearly more than a mile away with the airship at 1,000ft.
The craft has emerged from hibernation in Rome and will land at Fairoaks, Surrey on June 15. It will light up the night sky in six places from Shoreham to Manchester and will be seen over the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch on July 22.
