September 1916: A number of Bedford people witness a huge glare from
the southern sky when a zeppelin falls nearly forty miles away at Cuffley, near
Enfield. One London newspaper reported that the blazing mass resembled a glorious
sunset. Official news of the destruction of the zeppelin is received at 5.45pm
in Bedford and the news is posted outside the Bedfordshire Standard’s High
Street offices.
