Seven questions on jet travel

[Paul K]

This is on the BBC news web site. Garry needn't bother...he probably set the questions.

I got all seven correct. Gawd I need to get out more, but then I'd probably just go to more aviation museums.

I've no idea where Q3 , or its answer , came from. It was the Gloster E28/39

Incidentally, whilst we're on the subject of engines, with which engine did the Messerschmitt bf109 first fly?

R-R Kestrel!

edit - but I didn't do so well on the quiz - only 4/7!

Also known as the Whittle Jet and the Pioneer

E28/39 was it's specification and if often quoted but it was called the Gloster G.40 Pioneer

Chris, the Kestrel also powered the prototype Stuka !

Straight in from the pub and 7/7. I usually take the weekly BBC quiz and never score more than about half marks. Not sure what that says about me?!

Probably says you need to spend more time at the pub!
