It crossed the coast at Dunwich in Suffolk and came under heavy anti-aircraft gunfire from the Purfleet, Erith and Plumstead area. It dropped it’s bombs at Rainham but received a direct hit from the Purfleet guns. It was also fired on by Alfred de Bathe Brandon, a New Zealander serving with the RFC at Hainault in Essex who was in a Bleriot Experimental 2c. He dropped his Ranken Darts on the airship. The L15 became nose heavy and came down in the sea 15 miles north of Margate. All but one crew were rescued by HMS Vulture. The L15 was taken in tow but sank off Westgate.” For some years after the war, the wreckage could be seen off Westgate.
