100 years ago a quiet village was disturbed in the early hours by an enormous 650ft long zeppelin airship crash-landing only 20 yards from small cottages.  No one died but the German crew of over 20 got out, set the wreckage on fire and left the scene.  And so the story unfolds, involving the local villagers, police and the army…..
