Possibly Debden?

Lightning Mate 18th November 2011 15:58

One of the lines from the upper clue:

"Now they got lots of ................and they don't haff make din"

From the lower clue:

These two bought a country mansion just a couple of miles from the airfield.

Lightning Mate. ;)

Not Debden sabredog. Everything above should lead you straight to it. :)

sabredog 18th November 2011 16:05

Wattisham....?

Lightning Mate 18th November 2011 16:07

Bingo.

Me first two and a half years on the Frightening. Still got the record.

Your turn. :D

sabredog 18th November 2011 16:18

Thank you,LM.
You were very generous with your clues.
Open House again.

Airfield

Spanish and masculine, Aaron for certain, sounds like doing it again, the English Queen...

Lightning Mate 18th November 2011 19:12


Thank you,LM.
You were very generous with your clues.

That, my friend, is the way to keep a thread going, and to avoid boredom and thread stall.

Counting from 1823 on the 18th.

Let's see how many others get the idea.......................

I guess the risk is that clues come up so quickly that the occasional visitor arrives to find that three clues have been and gone at the hands of a small group who can look at the thread almost constantly...

However, one clue - very much for the cognoscenti (if you understand the clue, you will get the answer straight away... If you do not, it will be of no use to you)...

Track past the gold, tell the skull...

frontlefthamster 18th November 2011 19:55

...and for the non-cognoscenti, Marie Vernet Worth 1000 says there are 111 letters in the answer...

frontlefthamster 18th November 2011 21:15

Ah well, no replies (since 1823), and off to bed now with an invitation for a lovely day out tomorrow in someone's nice aeroplane...

Don't want to be accused of holding things up so the answer was...

Elstree.

Open house, if anyone wants...

Herod 19th November 2011 14:27

Easy one. Airfield. "Not Oliver's Bear?"

Fitter2 19th November 2011 15:10

Stan's Ted

Too easy.

Open house.

skytrain10 19th November 2011 16:46

A quick one to keep things moving:

Manufacturer

Cook infects worker

Mechta 19th November 2011 20:10

Just guessing:

Myasishchev ?

skytrain10 19th November 2011 20:11

Hi Mechta....no, not Myasishchev.

skytrain10 20th November 2011 08:17

Apologies but have to withdraw the last challenge. I have realised I used an incorrect spelling for the name of the manufacturer. The intention of course was an anagram of "infects worker"....which was Foster Wickner....however the Wickner should have been Wikner, ie without the c.
Back to Open House.

skytrain10 20th November 2011 16:53

I'll try again...another manufacturer:

dealers in aircraft maybe?

Herod 20th November 2011 19:16

Can manage "Sharp" (singular), designer of the Nemesis.

skytrain10 20th November 2011 19:48

Not Sharp Herod

Herod 20th November 2011 19:49

Aviation Traders?
