It should've been Mig-21 but I still learned a few things from those questions. Thank you Cat1

The Swordfish was an iconic a/c as well, and I’ve never heard the Chinook being referred to as “the elephant of the skies”🤷‍♂️

I've often wondered why they built that lovely, quiet cathedral inside a city with a noisy RAF base nearby.

sorry about this
i have changed the points accordingly so this wont have any effect on the scores.
i reiterate that this quiz was made weeks ago so i could revamp the points and quiz system

next weeks quiz will be made up of viewer questions only,
so PLEASE pm me your quiz questions an you will definitely see them in next weeks quiz

regards

Nice idea. But I’m sure in the event of the Cold War turning hot in 1962. Victors, Vulcans and Valiants would be striking back against the USSR. Not just the Vulcan.

Yes, but the question specifically asked “what Avro produced aircraft”.

Actually I think this quizz is a good idea, but bare in mind that you are venturing into a lions den here. You might offend the odd quirky aficionado now and then (there's a few of them lurking out there :whistle: ), but sod 'em, it's all fun. Keep it up. :thumb:
