Panzer Vor!!! Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 On 8 September 1915 LZ 45 (L 13), commanded by Heinrich Mathy, was the first Zeppelin to bomb central London, setting fire to textile warehouses to the north ofSt Paul's Cathedral and causing over half a million pounds worth of damage, around one sixth of all material damage caused by the bombing of Britain during the war.[11] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardie Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 1/32 scale Wingnut Wings zeppelin now wouldn't that be something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 1/32 scale Wingnut Wings zeppelin now wouldn't that be something When I had a look at the link Panzer Vor posted I read the scale as 1/72 just before the brain recalibrated the eye information and adjusted to 1/720. Wouldn't 1/72 have been something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Zeppelin L48 (LZ95) was brought down at Theberton in Suffolk, about 20 miles from me. Part of the framework is in the local church. As for Pamela Anderson, I suppose you could park two bikes. I prefer Gillian Anderson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London's full of this stuff. I was on a 23 bus going to another meeting yesterday and went past St Clement Danes in the Strand/Fleet St - the pock marks to the walls from bomb blasts remain untouched from 1940/1 - fascinating.

JohnT Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I find them fascinating but dont know all that much about them really, just the general history. They always seem so very WW1/Heath Robinson to me in so many ways with that mad Edwardian inventor appeal if you get my drift. The same "feel" attaches to the early tanks, most aircraft before say about early 1917 (when they start to build things that look robust and workable) and the very late Edwardian battleships and very early Dreadnoughts. I just know hardly anything about them unlike say WW2 types. I do know that the Grassmarket in Edinburgh just opposite Edinburgh castle of the other side from Princes Street was bombed by one. Looks like they were trying to find the RN fleet at Rosyth dockyard across the Forth in Fife but if they were their navigation and bombing was hopeless. You can find the story here http://www.scotsman.com/heritage/people-places/lost-edinburgh-zeppelin-air-raid-of-1916-1-3375536 and http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/learning/first-world-war/zeppelin-air-raid-on-edinburgh-1916 I like the part about the child born with the given name of Raida and the conjecture that if its not a family name does it reflect her early experiences 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
