Could aircraft direct fire into the Kiel Canal?

Could the Royal Navy attack German ships while they were still organizing inside the Kiel Canal?

Only aircraft-directed fire makes that practical because terrain and smoke would hide ships in the canal from naval observers at ordinary engagement ranges.

The canal offers an attractive chance to catch German ships before they form a battle line, but the surrounding land blocks direct observation. British ships outside the entrance would see little beyond smoke and funnels. Firing without reliable spotting would waste ammunition and risk missing the confined target altogether. Aircraft could report fall of shot and turn a blind bombardment into controlled long-range fire. That possibility gives the small 1915 aviation component an influence beyond direct attack. It also reinforces why reconnaissance and fire control, rather than bombing power, are the most valuable air roles in this scenario.
