Dear Colleagues: I'm passing this on so I can say that I'm assisting the Constabulary in their investigations. D.C. Cobb is referring to the rigid airship LZ 127 "Graf Zeppelin", which flew from 1928 to 1937, including a famous round-the-world flight in 1928. A photograph that shows "Graf" china may be found on page 166 of "Zeppelin: Rigid Airships 1893-1940" by Peter Brooks. Please forward this whereyou will. I'm sending it to a few other lists - AEROSP-L, AIRCRAFT, MILHST-L. With your help, we can put a stop to this case of Graf and Corruption. Allan Janus National Air and Space Museum [log in to unmask] BEDFORDSHIRE POLICE In a village called Cardington in the County of Bedfordshire, England, We have R.A.F. Cardington. On this complex there is a reserve collection museum for the R.A.F. Museum Hendon, London. They restore and keep items for Hendon, from buttons to complete air frames. Until March 1993 they also thought they had a small collection of Graf Zeppelin crockery, but sadly when they went to get it from storage, they discovered it had been stolen. Description - four cups, four saucers, four plates, one sugar bowl, one milk jug. They are all white with a blue band and gold rim thereon. The logo 'LZ' is on each item. They were made by Heinrick Eifenham, Bavaria in 1928. I would be most grateful for any information you may be able to give about these items, especially if you've been aware of them being offered for sale since January 1991. Please forward your reply to Bedfordshire Police, Greyfriars Police Station, Greyfriars, Bedford, MK40 1HR, England, for the attention of DC.295 COBB. Yours faithfully, I. Cobb Detective Constable 295
