The Airship took part in eight reconnaissance missions with three attacks on England dropping 5,780 kg (12,740 lb) of bombs.

The Zeppelin was damaged by ground fire from Dartford AA battery[1] during a raid on London on 1 April 1916.

One crew member was killed; the other 17 were taken prisoner of war after being picked up by ships.

[2] The gunners at Purfleet attempted to claim a prize of £500 offered by the Mayor of London for shooting down the Zeppelin, but the War Office declared them ineligible.

More than 5,000 bombs were dropped (largely on towns and cities) across Britain, causing £1.5 million (equivalent to £128,500,000 in 2023) in damage.
