Very difficult to identify much in this image. The Gas Works and the reservoirs are the main identifying features. The view is looking north from the Poplar area with Bow Common Gas Works in the middle distance and the reservoirs in the far distance. The view is looking north. Hackney Marsh can be made out. I am sure that we will be able to fill in the image now we know where it is. Everything fits with this identification.

Thanks for working on this one Class31. It's good to have a detailed location for as many of the airship images as possible, I think - much more interesting for people to know that something as remarkable as the Graf Z or R101 flew over their area than just saying "London". We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.



Yours, Katy
