Laurent Angot took these photos in 1990.
Laurent adds: The LZ113 (construction number LZ83) is a Zeppelin of type R. Details: First flight : 22/02/1917 Length : 196.5 m Diameter : 23.93 m Capacity : 55200 m3 Motorization : 6 Maybach engines developing 1440 HP (total)
LZ113 was handed over to the French authority in Maubeuge, as were L72 (future "Dixmude") and the Nordstern (renamed "Méditerranée"). But unlike the other two ships, LZ113 would never fly again. It would be disassembled and used for static wind tests.
