Surprised bow



Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way home, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.

Thanks BG.

As I was asked to provide them at the beginning of each thread here they are.

Rules
------

1. When a person answers a question and it is confirmed as correct by the poster of the
question, they then have the floor and are expected to ask the next question.

(You are only allowed to ask a question if the above rule has been adhered to.)

2. If a question isn't asked within 24 hours then it will be assumed that the person
supposed to ask the question has a problem, then the floor will be made open for anyone to
ask the next question to allow the quiz to continue. The same applies if an answer is given and confirmation is not forthcoming within 24 hours

3. Question are to be related to World War II air warfare.

4. If a multiple part question is asked, only one point will be awarded for the answer.

Guidelines
----------

1. To allow fluid running of the quiz, if you answer a question correctly but cannot post
a new question or won't be able to check for answers to your new question, please ask
someone else to post the next question. This doesn't mean you can't go to work or bed but
please be considerate when possible.

2. Please don't abuse the above guideline by just answering questions and then passing it
to someone else all the time, instead of asking one yourself (see rule 1).

3. If you have posted a question and it becomes obvious that nobody knows the answer, it is customary to offer a hint or clue.

4. When posting picture questions, it is recommended that you do not direct link. Use
something like 'Photobucket' to host your pictures (most people can see pictures linked
from there, whereas some other sites are not visible globally) and don't forget to disguise the name of the picture


Be back with the stats shortly.

I'm amazed that it has lasted this long.
Time for a clue:
The designer was better known for his gliders than powered aircraft.

Clue No 2.
The designer's son became world famous in a more cubic capacity.

It's gotta be a Fokker T.VIII.....



"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."

Of course Heliopause, should have known better than use a plane from The Netherlands with you around, although it seems just about everyone flew one Wink

Winky
After the Dutch surrender some fokker ended up in Britain, being flown by 320 Sqn. Others where used by Germany flying from the Adriatic sea.

O.K. name the plane.

Correct Jolly! It's a P-59B. (A-version didn't have this armament?)

Floor is yours.....

Thank you Helipause Thumbs Up ,The YP-59 and subsequent marks had guns and i have seen pictures of A and B aircraft with and without armament I don't think there hard and fast rules on guns
The B model was fitted with uprated engines and bigger fuel capacity this made it slightly heavier

Whom is this

Thanks Mr J.

Not sure if this one has been asked before, apologies if it has. Why is this 110 sporting those markings and why is in this undignified position?
