Hey Pete, #17. Got an assist from my wife, and she had clued me in some days ago and I didn't listen!! She had mentioned Dickens then and I told her it was questions about (mostly) WW II airplanes... Serves me right, so when she brought it up again tonight I did a proper investigation... Never question the wife, I find!! SO, Tiny Tim the ROCKET, I see now... LOL.

Find the quote and you find the Big Rocket! 18 is entirely on the wrong track. It's another Nickname question. 19 When I say bridge, I don't mean anything that crosses a gap!

Since it was you that identified my wooden armored car project some months ago, I felt it only right to give your aviation quiz a serious go... I hate to admit it, but I came up just short... Now, I haven't looked at anyone else's replies... Here are my answers, I hope I've got most of them... 1. Two... (RAF R.E. 8). 2. A Bristol Aquila. 3. A Mamba... would that be a black one or perhaps a green one? LOL. 4. A Rolls Royce Merlin engine. 5. Bristol made the Jupiter radial engine for the Dornier J Gas Wal and the J II Wal... 6. You give it more thrust!! Swap out the GE J79's for the RR Spey RB 168 15Rs... 7. My only guess is the SAS (Special Air Services). 8. Blue... a Vought F4U Corsair. 9. An OBOE... 10. All three made twin engined bombers, although I'm guessing that you may be looking for more to this one, just as I found with question #5... 11. A Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double WASP radial... 12. A Douglas F-3D Sky Knight, the damned drut!! 13. In a SR-5 3. 14. Is an AIR-2 Genie (your first really "tough" question...IMO, gave me a great sense of satisfaction finding this answer!!) 15. The LTV-A7 Corsair II, USAF - "D" , US Navy - "E". 16. The Spartan Cruiser G, or Mrk III G, hard to get a definitive photo... 17. I haven't the foggiest answer, you were a bit too cryptic on this one, Pete! I tried rocket founding fathers, Dr. Strangelove, the V-1 and V-II... 18. I'm guessing the SE 5a, flown by Edward "Mick" Mannock, since he's the most famous British flying ace, and you being from the UK Pete... I also considered Edward O'Hare and Eddie Rickenbacker... 19. This is the other one that has given me fits, I tried heavy transports (C-130, Antonov An-225...) before giving up!. Abit too cryptic Pete, can you be abit more forgiving, and telling?!! 20. A GAF Jindivik... great name!! Another one of my more proud discoveries... I'm still hoping to get answers for #17 and #19, but it's not looking too good with the present hints... Also a better answer to #10 may be in order... Thanks for the fun Pete!! Dave D. PS Oh yeah, too bad you couldn't supply us with an e-mail address, thus ensuring that only YOU see our answers, but I realize that carries with it certain risks.. I know they do that over here when you want to get the address to a Tank battle site that they don't want to "broadcast"... Just a thought. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pete Arundel To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 4:37 PM Subject: [TANKS] Not tanks but an Obscure and Cyptic Aviation Quiz OK, I know we're all tank lovers on this forum but I think many of us overlap into other areas of military interest. Anyway, I made this up a few years ago when I realised that a normal general knowledge quiz is just too easy with Google ans Ask.com available. So I got cryptic. And obscure. Anyone getting all of these gains huge bragging rights and serious Kudos! (1) How many people can you get inside Harry Tate? (2) What do you get if you take five from a taurus? (3) What snake do you associate with a gannet? (4) Where would you find Miss Shillings Orifice? (5) What links a Bristol to a Dornier? (6) What happens if you Spey a Phantom? (7) What links a sword with a wandering tribesman? (8) What colour was the flying pirate's parrot? (9) What sort of musical instrument tells you when to drop your bombs? (10) What have Avro, Fiat and Dornier all made? (11) What type of insect do you find in a barbary pirate? (12) Who, or what, was Willie the Whale? (13) Where would you find a Spectre on top of a Viper? (14) An unguided arabic spirit with a bucket of sunshine? (15) D and E models were Speyed by Allison. (16) A Spartan with spats. (17) And God bless us, everyone. With a big rocket. (18) Ed's scooter. (19) Ten ton bridge bid. (20) The hunted australian one. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
