OK, a two parter.

Short S20 Mercury
Unbroken seaplane distance flight from Dundee to Orange River, South Africa (9652 km.)
Correct and quick too. Your question.
What was the name of the last German Zeppelin to be built, what was its last misson.
The last German Zeppelin to be built was the L71
She flew some naval missions before it was decided to lengthen her still more, but events of the war overtook her & she was captured.
The last mission for the German crew was to fly her to Pulham Airship Station in the UK.
Neither she, nor L64 also delivered to Pulham AS were ever flown by Brit crews.
Wrong, lz 71 was built in 1916, many was made later than that
LZ130 Graf Zeppelin(II).
Scrapped in 1940 by order of Goering.
“Plans for an LZ131, with an extra bay and carrying 100 passengers, were never far advanced. LZ130 was laid up in Hangar #2 at Rhein-Main Airfield, Frankfurt, with the outbreak of World War Two. Together with the original GRAF ZEPPELIN, the LZ127, the last and finest big rigid airship ever built was cut up for scrap in March 1940. Two months later, on 6 May, (the third anniversary of the HINDENBURG disaster) the expensive, new Zeppelin hangars at Frankfurt were leveled with dynamite on the excuse that they were a navigational hazard for military planes using the field.”
LZ 130 Graf zeppelin II is correct, but what was its last mission.
What was it used for in August 1939 before being laid up at the outbreak of the war with Poland.
ESM recce of the RAF’s Chain Home Radar network?
That is correct, your turn
I’m a wee bit pushed for time right now, anyone else who want to post the next question, feel free. I only got 1/2 of it right anyway.
