If I remember correctly, helium is almost impossible to store permanantly simply because the size of the molecule is so small. Combined with the fact that it's a noble gas, it doesn't readily combine with any other element, unlike hydrogen, so once it's lost to the atmosphere its gone forever.

That should have said part plane, part balloon so… an airship. Still struggling to find a niche. Not great in a coastal breeze, I’d imagine.

The world is running out of helium. So I'm out.

No it's not. Alpha particles are created all the time.

What I was thinking, the western Isles aren't exactly known for their moderate weather- if it get too windy for ferry-boats...

,, the backstory appears to be that a fund has emerged to promote 'greener' travel in that area and guess who's after a slice. Gotta love the way they paste their 5 year old image onto any aerial photo they can find.
