Dave, to be pedantic, you are using the 2 and the 128 with your method.

 

Only because I don't know how to post the formula.

 

I mean, how do you post 7 + 7 over 7 in big brackets with a small 7 outside top right of closing bracket?

 

(((7+7)/7)^7)-(7+7+7+7)

 

I understand that thanks Toby, but it doesn't look how I want it to look!

 

Where will this man most likely fly between and what aircraft is he in?

 

You can do it in Word, never tried on here.

Let me investigate...

 

(((7+7)/7)^7)-7-7-7-7 = 100

Toby was too fast for me.

 

No idea... any clues?

 

The photograph was made in 1944 or 1945. The aircraft was not designed to carry passengers and as civil air transport flew in a dangerous place.

 

A V1 Doodlebug test pilot? I'm sure I saw a film about them. I think that they were unstable and most pilots crashed. Mind you, the aircraft wasn't supposed to land "properly". Or I could be talking twaddle... has been known, alas.

 

Hornet-Fez no. The V1 could fly with a pilot only, the body was only big enough to have one person where the bomb was.



For another clue this airman is British.

 

was it to do with mail?

 

The man will probably fly between the UK and Germany and he is in a Lancaster.

 

Photographer?

 

Newsreel filming over Hiroshima or Nagasaki ?

 

No answers are correct so far.

The aircraft was flying in Europe from somewhere in Britain to another nation not really part of the war and the aircraft was for its time very fast.

 

Jet test pilot?

 

From uk to Iceland

 

Some kind of measuring of atmospheric conditions - like flying through volcanic ashes ?
