en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Zeppelins has a list of Zeppelins and identifies those that landed or were brought down in England. Candidates wrecked before late 1917 are L48. But the CPI picture doesn’t match the location shown in www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/zeppelin-wreck, with a picture of the June 16/17, 1917 wreck of L48. SL11 crashed at Cuffley, Hertfordshire,. Night of 2/3 September 1916 — first success in bringing a Zeppelin down. L31 -- crashed and landed on an oak tree, near Potters Bar. 2 October 1916. There is no oak tree in this picture. L32 was brought down on September 24, 1916 near Snail’s Farm, South Green, Great Burstead, Essex. Came down in flames. This seems to show the shape of the craft more than one burned would do. See twitter.com/adie1412/status/569584798643183617 for a photo that purports to be of L32. L33 landed in Little Wigborough, Essex, near New Hall Farm. September 24, 1916. Crew attempted to burn the craft, but unsuccessfully. www.google.com/maps/place/New+Hall+Bungalow,+Copt+Hall+Ln... is certainly similar terrain and descriptions suggest that it was in two fields. See www.tollesburyazaz.fsnet.co.uk/News/March02/Wigborough.htm. Strongest candidate, I believe.

I agree, this is certainly Little Wigborough, s. this screenshot from Google Earth (51°47'55.26"N / 0°52'18.99"E, looking southward): www.flickr.com/photos/66311327@N05/24239747986/ See also video in www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01s6xxs This is the house in the background: goo.gl/maps/vaeesVnEMZD2

B-59 -- Thanks for the confirmation and other links.

just noticed that the structural parts of the zeppelin are lying across the road at right center. Impressively large machine.

Good detective work swanq, and thanks B-59 for screenshot to confirm it. We will add Little Wigborough, Essex and L-33 to the catalog record. I recently came across a British brochure which said one of the aid organizations (sorry, I can't remember which one) was selling pieces of a crashed Zeppelin to raise money. I wonder if any of this one was sold off. The Imperial War Museum has three pieces of the L33 in their collection; a control panel, a piece of metal bent into a napkin ring, and a very ornate ashtray cast from salvaged metal.

That looks rather like a German soldier behind it based on the helmet.
