ABTMOAF = ??? :confused: :confused:

treadigraph
Over to you.

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 07:21

A quick easy one while there is a pause.

Listen very carefully Jack, the big man does not talk very loud.

Northrop B2 Spirit stealth bomber?

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 11:03

LowNSlow.

Sorry, not the B2.

The clue is for a nickname of this Aircraft.

Peter.

Must be the Bristol Britannia, "Whispering Giant"

But what's Jack listening carefully got to do with it?

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 11:36

Saab Dastard.

You got it, Britannia.

Clue explained.

Jack, as in Jack and the beanstalk who met the Giant ( the big man who was whispering), hence Whispering Giant.

Peter.

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 11:49

Thanks, Peter.

Now where is treadigraph when you need him?

Oh, well here's another quickie to fill the time ;)

I'm delighted I consumed this female.

Bre901 14th May 2004 11:59

Yak-32 ?
it's the only Mantis I could find ...

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 12:09

Sorry, Bre, not a mantis - the female bites the male's head off during copulation, I believe, so it's the wrong way round. Otherwise full marks for ingenuity.

You'll hate me for this, btw :O

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 12:17

Saab Dastard.

Very good,

Gladiator.

Am I right.

Peter

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 12:20

Spot, on Mr B :)

The old one's are the best, eh?

Since there's no sign of Tredders, you may as well go again.

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 12:31

Saab Dastard.

Yup, that was a good un;)


My Motorcycle gloves come from a place West of Slough.

Peter.

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 12:38

Gloster Gauntlet?

Too obvious?

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 12:50

That's the one.

I was trying to think of something quick

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 13:00

Well, try this one - I think (hope!) it's harder.

You can't strike in me if I'm rich and working.

ps - this is only the name of the Aircraft, not the manufacturer.

treadigraph 14th May 2004 13:08

Sorry, I was enjoying lunch in the Dog and Bull...

Bit tricky...

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 13:18

Well, I guess you've missed your turn, hope lunch was worth it! ;)

You'll just have to get this one then to wrest control back again.

:D

Peter Barron 14th May 2004 13:48

Lightning :confused: :confused:

Saab Dastard 14th May 2004 13:50

Nope, not Lightning.

Bre901 14th May 2004 15:16

Guess we'll have to go through the usual questions.

Are you a pax transport airplane ?
