Evenining Graeme,

Just looking in at coffee, but have to get back to work now

You're right mate and the caption isn't!!

It's a Zeppelin-Staaken, see some more pics of the same here: Zeppelin-Staaken VGO.III / R.IV / R.VII

Ahhh....Thanks Trevor. The Staakens I looked at had a long enclosed cabin like a railway car.

Cheers!

I'd like to give you control for coming up with that Bri. Another new one for me. Very similar looking, but mine is French. Here's a side view...
