The Holden Airship was a promotional gimmick operated by Holden (GM Holden Ltd), an Australian car manufacturer. The lightship (American Blimp Corporation A-170) is painted in the distinctive red and white livery of Holden and is flown at various outdoor events, such as Tertiary Open Day in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, on 25 August 2007 (see picture).
In late September 2007, The Holden Airship was decommissioned and shipped back to the USA in preparation for its next international contract.

“Forbede us thing, and that desiren we;
Preesse on us faste, and thanne wol we flee.

Greet prees at market maketh dere ware,
And too greet chepe is holden at litel pris.”
