Airships Capel Captains Channel Folkestone Goddard Ivor Lieutenant Midshipman Montague Nautical Patrol Photograph Proceeding Topographical


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of three rigid airships, SS8, SS11, and SS12, proceeding on channel patrol from Capel, near Folkestone, in October 1915. The airships, which were part of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), played a crucial role in protecting the British coastline during World War I. In the foreground, Sub-Lieutenant Ivor Little of the Royal Navy stands confidently on the deck of SS8, with his crew members at attention. To his right, Midshipmen R.S. Montague and R.V. Goddard of SS11 and SS12, respectively, can be seen giving orders to their own crews. The airships, with their distinctive rigid frames and fins, loom large against the grey October sky, casting long shadows on the water. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of airship crews during this period. The men, dressed in their uniforms, appear focused and determined as they carry out their duties. The airships, which were the largest flying machines of their time, were essential for patrolling the English Channel and protecting against enemy attacks. This photograph is an important historical record of the RNAS's role in the defense of the United Kingdom during World War I. It provides a fascinating insight into the technology, personnel, and operations of the time, and is a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who served in the RNAS.
