FAREWELL tells the story of Lady Grace Drummond-Hay, the only female passenger on the first journey around the world of the Graf Zeppelin in 1929.

Traveling high in the sky, up over a world, in a way she has never experienced before, Grace changes. Her former lover Karl von Wiegand is amongst the other passengers. During her long voyage their love is once again tested. When the Zeppelin finally flies over New York Grace says goodbye to Karl and the lovers lose touch. Landing in New York she is welcomed like a cinema star.

@yokhana She was a courageous woman, and inspiring in her life to be the first to fly around the world aboard one of the finest airships built.

Even today, with the air filled with the noise of jet liners leaving contrails across the skies, such a journey as the Graf made many years ago, would still fill one with wonder. To see the Earth from 1000 feet above, like a bird.

@yokhana Me too! I've been looking all over the internet to try and link all the Drummond-Hay's family history into one neat book. There are some amazing Drummond-Hay's out there!

this was a fantastic film capturing a moment in history that most people know nothing about. The image quality was incredible and the footage of the Graf Z entering New York through the smoke trail was moving, incredible - art made real. A great film about a great story. I was moved to write a song about it, will post to Youtube some time if i can borrow some Zeppelin footage. I will post it here.
