The Queens Aerodrome - Perth, Scotland
The soldiers and aircrew of the Highland Blackwatch hurried from their barracks, Zep gunships floated aloft whilst the cruiser HMS Blake hovered 400 meters above the airfield.
Captain Oxane watched as the NCOs sheparded their charges into the ships, satisfied all was in in order he marched toward his craft, nodded to the pilot and held on as the Zeps scope aperture opened flooding its cell with ether and expediently sending them skyward.

Near Dunkeld
Sam's eye's widened as the red flashes throughout the clouds coelesced into spears of fire "SHITTING HELL" he roared as he pitched the Shuttle sharply to port and rolled, around them the sky was an inferno. Sam wasn't an overly religeous man however he closed his eyes and preyed.
The ship was fiercely buffeted but upon opening his eyes Sam found that they were intact, he'd heard several dozen impacts the etheric weaponry aimed at them easily capable of disintegrating any zep, but they were relatively unscathed by all appearances.
Sam raised an eyebrow, his solemn gunner said nothing.
His attention was drawn back to the battle, their ship was buffeted as something exploded through the neighbouring cloudbanks, tearing across the sky and striking the enemy vessel above.
