I seem to remember mrs Thirtle telling me one time , she also told me of seeing a Zeppelin , that could be the one mentioned somewhere recently as seen over Coquet Island I have a 1915 original booklet of pics of the Damage done to the North East coastal towns by the Zeppelin raids ,(their Northeast , Scarborough Redcar Whitby !!!!) but very interesting though
