Interesting as always Homey.

I wonder if any of our aviation aficionados can identify that downed German reconnaissance a/c?

The wrecked reconnaissance plane shot down by 4 british airships.

terminology caught my eye. Would airships and planes mean different things at that time?

It's a Heinkel He-111 This must have been a high priority photo recon, as these bombers had just come in to service, and were quite valuable.
