ruxy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Recently read this book :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flatpack-Bombers-Royal-Zeppelin-Menace/dp/1848840713 Well worth reading , there is a good photograph of a Sky Car whilst on display at The Imperial War Museum (unable to show for copyrite reasons). It was discovered on English soil complete with winch and cable + a crow-bar jammed in the winch , no crew body ever found. A sort of cigar shaped thinghy sky car , apparently could be suspended for over a mile below the dirigible which remained above the cloud. The observer tended to be a smoker (the only crew benefit) and he had a telephone line to the gondola. The observer smoker or not - must have been a very brave man..
