 Robert Watson-Watt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germans were aware of the construction of Chain Home but were not sure of their purpose.
They tested their theories with a flight of LZ 130, the GRAF Zeppelin II, but concluded the stations were a new long-range naval communications system.
Even as early as 1936 it was realized that the Luftwaffe would turn to night bombing if the day campaign did not go well, and Watson-Watt had put another of the staff from the Radio Research Station, Edward Bowen, in charge of developing a radar that could be carried by a fighter.

This technique was developed during the Vietnam war to allow the C-130 to resupply LZ's (landing zones) without landing and being subject to mortar fire.
It involves the plane flying along the landing strip a few feet off the ground, and the load being extracted by pilot chutes, much the same way as a heavy equipment drop.
This is the standard way to get to a drop zone (DZ) or landing zone (LZ) in hostile territory.

 Dirigibles - Misunderstandings and Myths 3 (3)
Göring hides his skepticism towards the "balloons", and he re-organizes the commercial flights in a new company, a daughter-company of Lufthansa, and he is also approving of a new airship, LZ 130, in principle a sister ship of Hindenburg, to be built in Friedrichshafen.
Certain popular sources also state that Britain files a protest against this "spy flight", and that LZ 130 is ordered not to land at Frankfurt until after dusk, in order for the reconnaissance equipment to be offloaded unseen before British diplomats are invited on board.
What is true, however, is that Berlin initially denies that LZ 130 has been in the vicinity of the Scottish coast.

Readers looking for information on that topic should be satisfied, but anyone hoping for information on sonar, sonobuoys, huff-duff, homing torpedoes, or other aspects of electronic warfare will be disappointed.
Price opens his book with an odd juxtaposition of one old, discredited technology and one new, pioneering technology of the future—although he never quite frames it in those terms—when he describes the August 1939 cruise of LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin.
In one of the first airborne electronic snooping missions, the huge airship carried a team of twenty-five German signals specialists and passed along the coast of Britain while examining the radio spectrum in an effort to identify communications, navigation, and radar transmissions.

The achieved speed is still below the maximum performances of the old rigid airships.
For example the old Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg and LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II were able to fly at more than 130 km/h and the American airship ZRS 5 Macon even reached a top performance of 140.3 km/h.
However these top speeds were never verified in the way defined by the FAI record definition where the influence of the wind is reduced by having the airship fly a course in both directions.
