The burnt-out hull of Zeppelin L33 in a field near
Brentford, Essex. Having bombed Bromley & Bow,
East London, it was attacked by a squadron of night
fighters that caused enough damage for the
commander, Kapitan-Leutnant Alois Bocker, to make a
forced landing rather than attempt the return across the
North Sea. Landing at Little Wigborough, 6 miles from
Colchester, with no fatalities, the crew set fire to the
hull, then surrendered to a single special constable! It is
said that these were the only armed German personnel
to set foot in England during the war. Enough remained
of the zeppelin to help British engineers design the R33
airship.
Of the four zeppelins on that raid (L31, 32, 33 & 34,
commissioned July-September 1916), none survived
past November.
