Nope, but I would be interested in your reasoning.

"Tally Ho" is the motto of 609 sqn, based at Leeming.

RAF Leeming - 609 Squadron

Thought it was too simple, but you never know :)

Yellow Sun 29th December 2011 16:33

No, not quite a simple as that but a nice try.

A squadron based there had a canid connection.

YS

Yellow Sun 30th December 2011 13:35

Time for another clue:

Tally ho, an aerodrome.

1. A squadron based there had a canid connection.

2. The neighbours to the north have a beautiful view.

Is canid as in Bulldog (of the Bristol variety)?

Is canid as in Bulldog (of the Bristol variety)?
No, if it was it would be canine.

Clue no 3:

The neighbours to the west are vegetarian.

Herod 30th December 2011 18:57

Foxearth maybe?

Yellow Sun 30th December 2011 18:59

Nope, but you could be on the right track.

Could it be Finningley/Robin Hood Airport & its 12 Squadron (fox mask badge) connection, or is that too convoluted?

Yellow Sun 31st December 2011 06:53

Not Finningley, the connection is quite a direct one. The clues again:

Tally Ho, an aerodrome

1. A squadron based there had a canid connection. (Could be 12 Sqn)

2. The neighbours to the north have a beautiful view.

3. The neighbours to the west are vegetarian.

YS

NutherA2 31st December 2011 09:11

Good morning YS, the train of thought was:
1.Canid - Fox - 12 Sqn.
2.Tally Ho - hunting - John Peel - Peel Airports
3.Vegetarian - John Lennon - Liverpool Airport may be western neighbour.
4.Look for another Peel Airport to the East.
Was any of this train going in the right direction?

Yellow Sun 31st December 2011 09:20

Morning NutherA2,

Yes, right sort of direction, you have made the correct connection and have one clue of the three correct. Here is a fourth (and last as I can't think of any more!)

Near a knitted fox?

Good luck
YS

Yellow Sun 31st December 2011 15:48

Rather than have this one dragging on into 2012 here is the answer:

Tally Ho, an aerodrome.

Cottesmore is the only aerodrome (AFAIK) that shares a name with the the local fox hunt.

Clues:

1. The squadron with the canid connection is 12 Sqn, based there with the Vulcan.

2. The neighbours to the north with the beautiful view are the Belvoir Hunt.

3. The vegetarian neighbours to the west are the Quorn Hunt (sorry if that’s a bit corny!)

4. The knitted fox nearby is Woolfox Lodge, just across the A1 from Cottesmore.

Open house

Blimey Yellow Sun our brains were obviously too befuddled with booze and Christmas pudding to cope with that one!

Here's an easier one for New Years day.

Feline heart broken up North (airfield again).

NutherA2 1st January 2012 09:37

Catterick ? (As in cat-ticker) Happy New Year & OH if correct.

Tankertrashnav 1st January 2012 17:01

14 minutes this time - good time for a New Year's Day morning. Catterick it is, for the reasons you give - well done!

Open house has been offered.

TheiC 1st January 2012 18:00

I'll have a go...

Aircraft:

Staff, perhaps? Get rid of stiffness at the end and keep going round.

Tankertrashnav 3rd January 2012 16:28

H'mm - time for a hint I think! :confused:

TheiC 3rd January 2012 19:27

I felt like asking NutherA2 whether he's looked in, before offering a clue!

Tip someone's hat in Aubagne, then treat as above.

NutherA2 5th January 2012 09:04

In common with some 59,999 other Fife residents I've been powerless for a couple of days; just back on line, but little grey cells not yet completely thawed out. Could the solution have anything to do with a QFI on Hogmanay? (as in Tipsy Trainer)
