Spotter's quiz Daily Telegraph

[overstress]

Here's an easy quiz for the inhabitants of this forum..

How much of a plane spotter are you? - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/11888737/How-much-of-a-plane-spotter-are-you.html)

I got 12/12 ;-)

[N707ZS]

I thought number 12 was a crow!

[ATNotts]

Got 14/15 on the World's hardest geography quiz. I guess I watch too much "Pointless"!

For overseas readers "Pointless" is a BBC TV game show.

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

11/12 - not bad for an old timer! Wish there'd been some real aeroplanes in it though.

[Peter47]

12/12 but to be honest I had to guess whether the light aircraft was a Cessna or Piper. Didn't have too much trouble telling whether one was a 350, 360 or 370 though.

Just don't ask how I always do in Uncle Roger's Xmas quiz.

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Sadly, I doubt if too many people on here remember Uncle Roger!

Roger Bacon in Flight magazine straight and level ?

[Peter47]

Absolutely right!

[Hotel Tango]

12/12. Far too easy and I most definitely don't consider myself an expert by any means. Surprised you only managed 11/12 HD. ;)

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

I know HT... the rat's nest I call a brain doesn't work too well now!

[treadigraph]

12/12 - tricky? nah...

[Albaman]

Apologies for going " off topic" here, but the mention of Uncle Roger reminds me that , for some time now, I haven't seen " Flight " for sale at any newsagents - even at airports. It may be that I've been unlucky and all copies have sold out but could someone confirm, please, that " Flight " is still available in print format.

[Airbanda]

As far as I can remember it was in WH Smugs last time I was there but it's not been amongst my purchases for many years.

[rogera]

I receive flight magazine by post every week having subscribed to it by direct debit for ages

[MrSnuggles]

That was waaay too easy!

For you who haven't taken the test, it goes something like:

A) Airbus A380
B) F-16
C) Eurofighter Typhoon
D) Bell Helicopter 206

---------------------

I am a mere mortal among aviation legends but I managed 12 out of 12.

(I do enjoy posting pictures of the big white whale though!)

[Simtech]

Anyone here called Hoskins?

[wub]

He would have been here but he was a bit late on the round-out :rolleyes:

[Albaman]

Thanks for the replies re " Flight ", much appreciated.

[DaveReidUK]

Although I've been a subscriber for more years than I care to remember, sadly I have to say that Flight is a mere shadow of its former self.

[28right]

12/12. Like HD, pity there were no real planes. What about a Starliner or a Convair 880 or even a York in Skyways colours. Those were the days !

[Una Due Tfc]

12/12, my old trainers did a good job all those years ago I guess

I often have trouble telling the biz jets apart though in real life. I'm not tower rated so it's not a problem. Just remember the performance of each ICAO designator...

[trident3A]

12/12 alright! :ok:
