On the 7th June, 1915 Flight-Sub Lieutenant Reginald Alexander John Warneford attacked and, single-handed, completely destroyed a Zeppelin in mid-air. This brilliant achievement was accomplished after chasing the Zeppelin from the coast of Flanders to Ghent, where he succeeded in dropping his bombs on to it from a height of only one or two hundred feet. One of these bombs caused a terrific explosion which set the Zeppelin on fire from end to end, but at the same time overturned his Aeroplane and stopped the engine. In spite of this he succeeded in landing safely in hostile country, and after 15 minutes started his engine and returned to his base without damage.

Yes, Warneford's death was very sad - especially as it was due to structural failure while on a jolly rather than enemy action. And at only 23 years old, too.
It is my intention to build the aircraft appropriate for each of the Great War aviation VCs but so far I have been unable to locate Capt Liddell's mount. I may be forced to attempt a scratch-build of his RE.5.
