We verified the position from our Map & reported at once to OR that we estimated the position where the Zeppelin fell at Potters Bar. During the time the Zeppelin was in sight there was not so much gunfire as usual, & that only from about 11:40 to 11:46 pm.

* Royal Naval Air Service. Report on Seaplane Operations against Cuxhaven Carried Out 25th December 1914, pub. Air Department, February, 1915,orig. 31 pp. printed report with two folding maps, unbound, sewn as issued, folio On Christmas Day 1914, the first combined sea and air strike was executed by the Royal Navy, aimed at locating and if possible bombing the dirigible sheds housing German `Zeppelin` airships, in a pre-emptive strike to prevent the airships from attacking the United Kingdom. Aircraft of the Royal Naval Air Service were carried to within striking distance by seaplane tenders of the Royal Navy, supported by both surface ships and submarines. Fog, low cloud and anti-aircraft fire prevented the raid from being a complete success, although several sites were attacked. Nevertheless the raid demonstrated the feasibility of attack by ship-borne aircraft and showed the strategic importance of this new weapon. All seven aircraft survived the raid, having been airborne for over three hours. Three aircraft retained their tenders and recovered; three others landed off the East Friesian island of Norderney and their crews were taken on board the submarine E11, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Martin Nasmith; the seventh aircraft suffered engine problems and was seen to ditch in the sea some eight miles off Hegoland, the pilot later being rescued by a Dutch trawler.
