You see, it wasn't that difficult...
At Leavesden they used to produce the Mosquito with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and nowadays they produce movies over there like Harry Potter and many others.

Thanks Uufflakke, not that difficult if your brain was running on all cylinders lol, mine's not. See if I can find a quickish question as I won't be around long.

Name the ace..




Edit: Off to be now, if anyone is one hundred percent sure and get's it, go ahead with the next question.

A clue then, he was a New Zealander flying for the RAF.

Air Vice Marshal William Vernon "Bill" Crawford-Crompton, CB, CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, 21.5 kills

That's the one TT , he had a rather eventful time even getting to the UK to sign-up for the RAF..

Thanks dance, looks like they got lucky! Out of ideas at the moment, so an easy one:

Name at least 5 different types of multi-engined piston airplanes used in second world war that (in their major versions) had an odd total number of cylinders.

Cant Z.506

Dornier Do-24

Junkers Ju-52

Savoia Marchetti SM.79

Savoia Marchetti SM.81

I was thinking about adding another condition: If you are in a top 10 participants in this quiz (number of correct answers - wise), you should list 10 aircraft. I knew this wouldn't last long. The floor is yours Dance!

Ooops my bad, I would have tried to answer ten, though I think I would have struggled, it was an interesting question and I got carried away

A token, name the plane..

Junker 290?

I should have put a TinyTim proviso on that one :P

Name the place

What have you done to Uufflakke

Is it Willow Run, Ford manufacturing plant in Michigan, where they were assembling large numbers of B-24s during the war? The site was a farm initially, owned by Henry Ford, who then built a B-24 assembly plant there.

You know thats a better answer than the one i am looking for
but no although it has to do more with B-17s

Think more directly

Tillamook County, Oregon? There is held "Pig n Ford Races" where contestants race with old T-ford rods with a pig aboard. And also there's the Naval Air Station Tillamook and Tillamook Air Museum. A really wild guess, so wild that in case I'm right, I'll leave the floor open for anyone!



EDIT: an interesting sidenote: Henry Ford was born in the year of the pig in Chinese astrology.

So wild and soo wrong sorry
