Who's going to be the first to point out in the answer to question 1, the famous four months taken was trying to 'design' a way to fit the engine to an already existing airframe, NOT designing a 'plane from scratch?
That would be me
And how come the Mossie is mentioned four times, but is never the answer? 'Oh, it must be right THIS time!' Yeah, I know how these devious question-setters work!

Yep! I am! Doing quizzes is the only release I have for my natural sadistic tendencies!
Just a thought Rick. Should we put these up now if anyone's interested or save them for Xmas?
Maybe they could be put in the Amusement park under quizzes?

I was looking over Boatmans shoulder, so I know my answers are right...
C, A, B, A, C, A, D, B, C, D.
What's the prize, what's the prize, what do I get, if I don't get a prize, then I will scream and scream untill I make myself sick.....
C, A, B, A, C, A, D, B, C, D.

I think I answered 4 of those :tears-of-joy:
Even though I know virtually nothing about the subject I still enjoy building them :smiling3:

Yes, thank you Violet. But shouldn't that be 'thcweam and thcweam'?

Just had a go at the quiz. I think there are 5 questions for which I'm sure my answers are correct. A couple for which my answers would be a good guess and the rest I've no clue.
My thoughts too Chris.
These days I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to most threads wandering off topic. Unfortunately, that's the way this forum is being allowed to go.
Back to the quiz.

Thanks for posting the quiz Dave. :thumb2:

My answers - ABRACADABRA
Wrong quiz Rick, there were only 10 questions. One was kind of tricky for me, but Packard engine gave it away.
OK guys, answers as promised:
In order C A B A C A D B C D
You might want to spare a thought for the poor quizmaster - even though he introduced the idea of topics chosen by the teams. He only started this fairly recently, but so far he's had to create sets of questions on: Signs of the Zodiac, British Birds, Football in the West Midlands (is there such a thing?), Speedway and this one. And for next week's delight and edification - Last of the Summer Wine.
I've created a lot of quizzes over the years, but there's no way I'd set myself up for that!
