The size of a complete bomb picked up at Yarmouth
indi- cates that it was not dropped by an aeroplane. As Mr. C. G. Grey says in the Times of Thursday, although bombs of 100 lb. are sometimes carried by aeroplanes„,not more than two can be taken, and a hostile aeroplane would probably have carried a comparatively large number of small bombs. He thinks that Germany cannot have at the best more than six Zeppelins ready to undertake a long journey, though perhaps a dozen first-class German airships are in existence. In each of these ships it is estimated that between one and a half and two tons of bombs could be carried. At the outside two hundred to two hundred and fifty 100 lb. bombs might be dropped in a grand raid on London.
