: ....mind you, it wasn't the hydrogen burning in the case of the Hindenberg - it was the aluminised/rubberised skin. The only colour photo shows a bright orange flame - hydrogen burns with a blue flame (when it burns - with enough oxygen around, it fucking explodes - I should know 'cos I have been caught in a hydrogen oxygen explosion and it was no fun at all!).
