OK

I have Nat King Cole, curtailng it gives Nat King? I can't make much out of that.

That's why I have gone for North Coates.

The thread is becoming more and more crypic.

R.A.F. ACKLINGTON ?

We've had that somewhere - I posted it.

Sorry LM I haven't seen the original entry

That's because the original thread disappeared for some reason.

I was thinking Acklington (where I did my basic training) but rejected it because of that without thinking! :\

Open House

Well. I've still got two challenges up on other threads, so I'll not take the OH.

OK - taking up the OH

Answer:

Cured Old Spot, for example.

Question?

(Airfield)

Is this a place name that also happens to have an airfield, or is the name specific to the airfield ? i.e New York as opposed to Laguardia ?

Definitely known to most as an airfield, I assume named after a nearby village. UK

Gloucester/Staverton Airport?

You've got the Gloucester connection, but that doesn't help you geographically speaking. Think about the animal (or its by-products!)

Getting close - define "Cured Old Spot, for example" and think of the question that can be answered with that phrase.

What is ham? Of course, well done!

Open house has been offered.

Wattisham has been done before as well - I posted it.

Made a reference to the Singing Postman and the Kray brothers.

Still, with the loss of the original thread, nobody could know that!

This thread seems to be running well and is therefore gettig steadily bigger. Could we persuade someone brighter than me to construct (& update) a "What Cryptic Aircraft, Manufacturer & Airfield Lists" sticky to help us to avoid the double entry problems?

Meanwhile:

If TTN’s Old Spots aren’t available, this Antipodean Airfield would provide an alternative product for curing.

Feel free mate. Mel has his work cut out with the other four.

I do all the congratulations cards for every x1000 posts.

To me, antipodian indicates Oz or NZ.

Oi A2, would you mind posting at 2 point size. Dunno why you always use 1 point......
