[edit] WW1

• The airship attributed to Lt. William Leefe-Robinson was actually not a Zeppelin but a Schutte-Lanz SL.11. It was also not the first airship destroyed. See Zeppelin for reference. I have updated the text accordingly. Snapper five (talk) 11:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• I have also updated the text making reference to the first engagement of an enemy airship being a pilot from Sutton's Farm (Lt John Slessor). I've also asked the Zeppelin page owners to update their text to make reference to this incident. Snapper five (talk) 11:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
