Re: 612 Squadron 2/3rd August 1939
Brilliant guys, thanks!
The press photo, I contacted the paper a few weeks back for some images and the Zeppelin one isn't one of their copyrighted photos.
I am a bit sceptical that the photo of the LZ130 is actually off of Aberdeen (in the Evening Express and P&J pics on BNI). It was supposed to be 25 miles offshore (30 also being mentioned). The distance out would be difficult to get a good shot of with cameras generally available at the time. So I think it is (1) possibly an RAF supplied picture - unofficial, (2) A photo from earlier flight of the LZ130 elsewhere.
The big problem with the internet is, about every version of the account is copied for an account elsewhere - so they all have the same info!
