Allied invasion of Kiska in the Aleutians?  Lies, sanctions, and cruise missiles have never created a free and just society. Only everyday people can do that. Zack De La Rocha Do some good today http://www.freerice.com/ |

Jet engines (or British ones at least!):
Main question:
Which was the first UK plane to fly with a jet engine.
Bonus point:
What links Tim Burton with the jet engine?

-Gloster E.28/39 -Tim Burton, Batmans creator who drives a Batmobile with a jet engine?  "The pilot managed to crashland it successfully and we refrained from shooting up the survivors. The word must have got around, as the next day I was shot down and had to bale out. While I was lying in the sand with a busted shoulder, the Bf 109 pilot who did me made a run over me but held his fire." Flg Off R.F. Martin, No 73 Sqn |

Right on the first part, but the second is much more of a showbiz connection. Maybe it is a bit obscure... the key is marriage.

Tim Burton, who is well-known for eccentricity bordering on perversity, in 1999 married a Gloster Meteor F.8 in a civil ceremony at his Malibu house attended by Madonna and 500 riotously drunk white pit bull terriers. (L.A. TIMES, 19 Jan 1999)
