HISTORY: On the night of 23/24 September 1916, Zeppelins set out to bomb London. These were newly designed and built Zeppelins, superior to the Zeppelins, which had previously flown over England. On the raid, L33 was damaged by anti-aircraft fire and was forced to land at New Hall Farm, Little Wigborough/Peldon, only twenty yards from a nearby house. The occupants of the house, a man, his wife and three children ran for their lives as the airship hit the ground. The crew ran from the craft and shortly after it exploded. Special Constable Edgar Nicholas, who lived nearby, made his way to the scene and came across the crew walking along a road. They identified themselves as the Zeppelin crew and he arrested them. Other officers later joined them and the local constable, PC 354 Charles Smith, arranged for the prisoners to be handed over to the military to be taken off to a prisoner-of-war camp. The airship was the subject of great attention by spectators, but the guarding of it was expeditiously arranged by the military, as parts of the airship were still relatively undamaged. Indeed, she was later studied in great detail and many aspects of her design were incorporated into later British airship designs.
