At 8pm, a fruit and potato merchant named Creasor saw and heard the airship, with a powerful searchlight, at Riccall, three miles north of Selby. A grocer named George Daniels and others in his house heard an aircraft between 9pm and 10pm; upon going outside they saw a bright light fast approaching, and they could see the long cigar shape of the envelope. It carried a searchlight and a rear light, and headed towards Market Weighton. Several other people on the outskirts of Riccall also saw it.
