That must have been an amazing sight! 

I guess the last pic was taken from an airship by the look of it?

Yes, more than likely one of the multitude of non-rigid airships that the RNAS operated during WWI.  They had IIRC over a hundred, something which has by-and-large been forgotten.

I wonder what the crew of HMS Cardiff felt like leading that lot across the North Sea ?

Very, very safe!




And probably a touch proud, too.
