Chitty Bang Bang (airship) Chitty Bang Bang (airship) Chitty Bang Bang was an airship built for the 1968 film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". It was intended to represent the airship of Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria. Although fictional in inspiration, it was a fully functional flying airship. Vulgaria, and the airship, is drawn from Roald Dahl's screenplay for the film, rather than Ian Fleming's original book. The semi-rigid airship, whose appearance was designed by Ken Adam, was an approximate replica of a 1904 Lebaudy airship. The envelope was symmetrical fore-and-aft and short and deep compared to typical rigid airships, with pointed ends above the centre
Vulgarian National Anthem Vulgarian National Anthem "Vulgarian National Anthem" (or "The Vulture of Vulgaria") was originally written for the 1968 musical film, produced by Cubby Broccoli called, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" but was cut almost entirely from the final edit of the film. The musical theme is still heard in the film when the Vulgarian airship lands in Vulgaria. The song was written by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman. The song, in its entirety can only be found in the 2002/2005 musical stage play, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". A recording of the song exists on the Original London Cast album. The
