Subject: RE: Lyr Req: About WW1 Zeppelin downed on Hull raid
No German airships (commonly called Zeppelins) were shot down while raiding Hull. Only one was brought down over the North of England, L34 shot down over Hartlepool in November 1916 by 2nd Lt Pyott of 36 Squadron flying a BE2c.

Hull was not well supplied with anti-aircraft artillery either.
