Zeppelin raid February 14th 1916

[CGM]

Hi,

I have been looking for information about a Zeppelin raid over Essex on February 14th 1916 but so far I haven't been able to find any.

I suspect this is because there was little, if any, damage and no casualties. I wonder if anyone can confirm that there was / were Zeppelins over Essex on that night.

According to the authoritative The Air Defence of Britain 1914-1918 by Cole and Cheesman, there were no airship raids between 31 January/1 February and 5/6 March 1916. Ray Rimmell's equally authoritative Zeppelin! has the same dates.

I hope that this is useful.

Thank you very much Gareth.

I must do some more research, including returning to my source to check the date!
