Who did Gen MacArthur say should be awarded a VC for bravery

nuuumannn · Nov 23, 2011

Okay, hold yer horses, guys. The aircraft has been successfully identified as a Morane Saulnier built variant of the Fieseler Storch, but no one has actually given the right answer yet! Crikey, I only posted it yesterday! Since you're all so keen to get on with it, the correct answer is C).

'Criquet' in English is locust, whereas 'Cricket' in French is cri cri. Morane Saulnier MS-505a Cri cri just doesn't sound right now, does it?

Airframes · Nov 23, 2011

In which case it's a Locust (Never very good at French - always thought Criquet was cricket!).

Isn't Criquet those stale bread cubes you put on salades and soups?

Njaco · Nov 23, 2011

Neil, can't find any reference but knowing MacArthur it was probably sarcastic.

No it wasn't sarcastic , but I'll toss you a clue there wasn't a single RAF person in his aircrew

Winston Churchill deseved the VC for his trip to the Middle East and then on to Moscow which for much of the trip was a target for interception

I didn't think it would be that obvious. Thought it was obscure.

I got one if no one else does.

I have a quiz question. which country in Europe at the time of Hitlers death in April/May 1945. It was not Germany or Japan

Airframes · Nov 29, 2011

Don't understand the question.

Doh, I will try again and hopefully get it right .....

I have a quiz question. which country(ies) in Europe at the time of Hitlers death in April/May 1945 flew their state flags at half mast?. It was not Germany or Japan (and i know Japan is not part of Europe)

Vic Balshaw · Nov 29, 2011

I'll take a punt and say Austria and Ireland.

parsifal · Nov 29, 2011

Austria....is incorrect
Ireland....is correct....one down two to go

Njaco · Nov 29, 2011
