With its tapered car/gondola and without a top stabilising fin this is surely the new HMA ‘Eta’, as also seen on the ground on image img5966. The Army Manoeuvres took place 22nd -26th September 1913.
Can anyone pinpoint these fields, where the airships were moored and where the airmen and staff were accommodated in ‘bell’ tents.
An Ordnance Survey Grid Reference would suffice
