An easy one as I'll be out most of today:

His great uncle was a six times world motorsport champion, he made 46 appearances for the All Blacks - who is he?...

If you get the answer don't wait for me to confirm, just carry on...

OK. I'll just carry on. My question:
What is missing from the following sequence :
Strasbourg - Hamburg - Cologne - Washington - Paris - New York

Neasden. Strike that, Dollis Hill.

Give us a clue, is this geography, politics, history some kind of cipher, or what?
 
More clues: precede Strasbourg with Lincoln, Tallinn and Stralsund (In that order) and add Oklahoma City after New York. There is still one missing (Between Hamburg and Cologne).

World's tallest church/ Cathedral? Missing one Rouen
Click to expand...

Absolutely correct sb. it is a chronology of the locations of the tallest man made structures in the World. The Cathedral in Rouen replaced the Nikoliskirche in Hamburg and was in turn replaced by Cologne Cathedral - the first non religious building to top the list was the Washington Tower in 1884. Over to you.
 
It's not the Somme either Houston, though I think that's the second, and would have been my guess if I had not watched a documentary a couple of years ago....
