I was looking for the range / payload issues, so I recon it's over to you, 9's. Bloody amazing they built the thing in the first place!
I used to work for an airfreight company and they were all aeroplane nuts, whereas I know very little about them but am competent with Google. However this one I do know..... In the Spanish Civil War, in which part of his body was George Orwell shot?
Having read an enormous biography of him I feel I should know, but I don't. I know he had TB though, and died of it. I think he returned to fighting after his wound, so will guess somewhere like upper arm..... ...well worded question, avoiding the answer 'Spain'!
Correct. Homage to Catalonia is a great retelling of his experiences in that war, well worth a read. Anyway, over to you Sooper.
Outside the London postal districts there is one protected view of St Paul's Cathedral, where is it?...
A Catcher in the Rye was, so was Huxley's Brave New World, but Joyce's Ulysses never achieved this distinction. What am I talking about?
Hi Im back...banned....that would be my guess too Roller. Although as a second guess I would say READ. They say Ulysses is un readable...and it is impossible to read past the page "of your age". In my 20s I got to about page 30 when I gave up...never been back....other two books classics of the highest order
Correct Roller, for obscenity, but Ulysses was never banned in Ireland because it was not available for sale so never came before the hilarious censorship board.
If we were going for "unreadability" I'd pick Wolf Hall, what a slog that book was.... The entry of which ship into service in 1906 represented such a marked advance in naval technology that her name came to be associated with an entire generation of battleships?
Ok, double checked my answer on Wiki. Prior to the 1906 HMS Dreadnought, how many ships had carried the same name?
A bit late to say yes, but yes. Great book by Robert Massie on the subject. On to Houston's question.....
Very boyish questions....but I know there were two Tudor Dreadnoughts...both in the same format as the later 1906 Dreadnought...heavy armament, and heavy armor...so probably about 6 ????
