Airships

Mary Brigid,

I took a look in "BATTLEBAGS; British AIrships Of The First World War, by Ces Mowthorpe" (ISBN 0-7509-0989-7) and found the following.

The first photograph appears to be a 'Costal' class airship. I would think it's number would be on the car but I can't make it out. Though I can see the air-scoop after the rear of the car.

The second photograph, if I'm reading it's number correctly, would be the SS-7, 'Sea Scout' class. If so it would have a BE.2c car. Arrived at Imbros-Kassandra 13 September 1915 as part of the Airship Expeditionary Force. Carried out artilleryy spotting for HMS Venerable and HMS Talbot 25/26 September 1915. Deleted Kassandra 19 April 1918, unserviceable.

I hope this is of some help. If you get a chance take a look at the book it has some very nice photographs.

Cool Breeze,
Moggie
