You're Top Poster: #7  | Quiz Area Sorry to hijack your post David, but after a bit of a discussion we'd like to put a few added rules to the vote. Due to the fact that this thread occasionally languishes in the doldrums for a few days while we are waiting for question setters to come back to it, i did wonder if you would all like a 72 hour period for answers to be given and either verified correct or wrong. Once the 72 hours are up, if the original setter has not been able to return to verify the answer a Mod would do so and the quiz could continue. And one little thing. Maybe if everyone highlighted their question in a bright colour so it can be easily located in a thread. What do you all think? Do we have a quiz area in the forum? If so please move this to it. If not, what's this then? Last edited by Kitty; 23-04-2008 at 07:05 PM. |

You're Top Poster: #20  | That is a Blackburn (Boeing) Shark III out of Vancouver, Canada. It looks as if it is carrying a depth charge?? Nope, torpedo they say.

You're Top Poster: #20 | That is 100% correct - move to the front of the class.  Obviously we are going to have to beef up the questions. I went outside the normal theatre of war for that one, as I had done some work on the River Plate and had heard of the story.

You're Top Poster: #4  | Looks like a glider (maybe Horsa?) with an engine whacked on top of its wing.
