Submarine Scout Zero SSZ.62 airship at Redcar Airship Mooring Out-Station.
On 17th June 1918 this airship sustained gale damage whilst moored at "Redcar" Airship Mooring Sub-Station. It appears to have been repaired. It was normally housed at Howden but Kirkleatham had a mooring site for airships. The site was renamed Kirkleatham on 27th August 1918 to avoid confusion with the aeroplane aerodrome at Redcar itself. The site at Kirkleatham was a mooring out-station under control of RAF Howden. It was used by the parent station at Howden as purely a mooring facility to allow mooring to airships undertaking submarine spotting duties off the Yorkshire and Durham coast and to moor safely without having to return all the way to Howden. Howden had massive sheds to properly house the airships as well as mooring masts but the site at Kirkleatham only had mooring facilities.
