N.S.10 being ripped

N.S.10 being ripped at Longside on 21 September 1918. Together with N.S.9 and two Coastal Class airships, N.S.10 was recalled because of a rising gale. Wind gusts of 50 mph made landing impossible so all four were ripped at 100ft on the leeward side of the sheds. N.S.10 was never reassembled.
