Pity if its not Zepplin but Wurzberg, still it has got some historic significance.:)
By the way on the subject of Zepplins can anyone confirm if a Zepplin was bought down near Retford? I know the town’s gasworks was hit in 1916 and I have been told one came down to the east of the town, but alas this crash is unconfirmed.
There may be some credence to this story in that in the Babworth churchyard (1 1/2 miles from Retford town centre) a grave marked by a wooden cross, which as long lost most of its lead lettering, is reputed to be that of a Zepplin crew or crewman.
