Air Quiz

Just out of curiosity, but is it now Kyt's turn to ask a question?

 

Well, nobody has given the correct answer yet!

 

Errr, you may just have to give it Morse. Andy is busy at the moment and I can't think of anything else

 

Okay!............

 

1 The Fortress cannot rely on evasion of
enemy aircraft below 32 ooo feet.
2 Once intercepted the Fortress has little
chance against modern fighters.
3 Despite reputed accuracy of the Sperry
sight, precise bombing with the Fortress
above 32 ooo feet is extremely difficult,
due to physical and mental strain im
posed in using equipment at that great
height.
4 Dependence on suitable weather to carry
out attack limits the frequency of
operations.
5 Condensation trails can cause a raid to
be abandoned. Gives away position of
the 6-17.
6 The average bomb load is uneconomical
in relation to the manning and maintenance effort.

OK

Industria Aeronautica Romania (IAR) 81. Romanian fighter-bomber / dive bomber. Not a bad aircraft, developed about 1941/42

 

Correct. Your turn.

 

Well, I had the Romanian bit right and that's as far as I got cos I then read Kyt's post! LOL.

 

Go on Andy, stick up a question.


Errr, should I just guess now and save you effort? Is it a Beaufighter/fort? :becky:

 

Crap, I have to think now, Kyt. Thanks. :>

Hee hee. You know me too well!

Hang on a tick, just crunched the brain into gear. If you can't find it, grind it.

 

What is a Fishington?

 

Great question Andy. I will award bonus points to anyone who gets it

(BTW, yes I do know what it is/was)

 

Wellington torpedo bomber.

 

I better answer it then! :becky:

I had a major chuckle when I learned of this and others. Very clever.
