    Not Southport.

    I remember going there one year - Summer of Love it must have been as we were all dressed as hippies. We got chased through the town by bikies, were rescued by the police who let us sleep under guard in a marquee at the Southport flower show. The good old days.

    Barrow because of the famous gates (in the background) at their hovel of a football ground....No idea of connection, I'm a Hull City fan.

    Is that Keith Eddy, 2nd row, four in from the right, behind the gentleman in the suit?

    Bikies? The old days of Mods and Rockers no doubt? It's the background to tonight's edition of Heartbeat currently playing on itv3

    That's the Australian in me - had lots of dealings with them there over the years, so to speak...

    It certainly is. Rather young looking, but then he was only twenty. The one time we should be thankful for a club's boo boys - they targeted him so badly that he left at the first opportunity, which happened to come with our £1,250 transfer bid. Excellent bit of business.

    Over to you.

    I was invited (sounded out rather than formally asked) to "Prospect" once! Gawd only knows why, cos I was never that sort! I politely declined. Just as well, really, a couple of years later there were a few skirmishes between rival gangs, including an infamous shooting, and my then pals (thirty years ago and I've hardly seen them since) were all stripped of their colours. Good lads they were, not entirely sure why they ever got involved either! I've seen first hand what Prospects have to do, I wanted no part of that. Like all of these things, football included, lowest common denominator applies.

    Don't over think this.
    Operational from 1964 to 1989 and then in the late 90's.

    Close enough.
    Lockheed SR71. The original stealth bomber that was used as a spy plane, finally by NASA for experimental purposes after its military retirement. It's main defence was it's speed: fire a missile at it and it would merely accelerate away, over Mach 3. The
    36 were built, 12 lost in various accidents, none shot down.
    Top of the Top Trumps card game when I was a lad! Iconic design.
    New version due to enter service in 2025.

    If I could think of a decent question, I'd write up the answer...

    As no one else is having a go...
    RZSS is the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. They've just transferred two pandas to China, so I imagine that's what's going on...

    If anyone has a question ready, be my guest! (presuming I'm right)

    Being Fez's guest...

    Which rugby union international player went missing for 40 years and where did he go?

    A fearsome prop forward, he played 27 times for his country, scoring one try. That try was in his last game - he disappeared two days later.
