McGoonagall 22nd November 2011 16:54

Nearly but not quite. Use the first part of the clue.

sabredog 22nd November 2011 17:02

Second attempt;
Beccles?

McGoonagall 22nd November 2011 17:21

Beccles it is.

Open house.

frontlefthamster 22nd November 2011 18:35

OK,

A very easy one...

My words are defamatory

NutherA2 22nd November 2011 19:02

frontlefthamster 22nd November 2011 19:10

Correct... Well done :)

OPEN HOUSE

Kerling-Approsh KG 22nd November 2011 19:18

NutherA2 22nd November 2011 19:23

Kerling-Approsh KG 22nd November 2011 19:28

Well done!

Spot on.

NutherA2 22nd November 2011 19:32

Open House again, please, time for a beer!

Herod 22nd November 2011 19:46

Easy one. Airfield "Bud's underendowment?"

NutherA2 22nd November 2011 22:36

Abbotsinch?

Groundloop 23rd November 2011 01:26

Seems my attempt got posted 8 hours before I submitted it!! So here goes again.

Manufacturer:

Not in a precipice with a Welshman.

skytrain10 23rd November 2011 02:08

Seems this thread has lost track a little.

Herod has not confirmed NutherA2's guess of Abbotsinch.

We have had 2 other challenges set subsequent to that, one of which from tankertrashnav has probably been solved, with the other, from groundloop still open.

Whereas I am not the threads originator, we should in my view wait for the poster to confirm the correct answer prior to moving on to the next one.

Edit, seems there is also a serious clock error as I posted this at 1115!

Groundloop 23rd November 2011 05:24

Why does the PPRuNe server keep putting my posts 8 hours back in time!!!

Third time lucky?

Nope, still 8 hours back!

Tankertrashnav 23rd November 2011 09:20

Another easy one (airfield)

Spoil the bacon.

NutherA2 23rd November 2011 09:29

Marham.........still no ideas of my own so OH again

Tankertrashnav 23rd November 2011 10:08

wd evansb - location of my first solo landaway (from Lands End)!

Over to you.

Tankertrashnav 23rd November 2011 10:11

Sorry the system is going crazy evansb - yes you are right - over to you (see post 101 above).

Herod 23rd November 2011 12:31

Abbotsinch it was. I went to bed after posting.

Tankertrashnav 23rd November 2011 13:41

Marham it was NutherA2 - very quick!

Bit harder - active airfield again

Left flowers in a circle

Sorry I have just seen that posts are going on out of sequence - didn't mean to jump the gun, but I'll leave it on now it's here. I blame the server!

evansb 23rd November 2011 14:23

Portreath ?

Herod 25th November 2011 13:47

Has this thread died as well?

SincoTC 25th November 2011 15:42


Has this thread died as well
I hope not; haven't contributed to it yet but I suspect it may be suffering from this sodding time shift bug, when I looked in yesterday it seemed to have got stalled and I thought we were still awaiting Tankertrashnav's judgement on evansb's answer.

Now I look again, I see that Tankertrashnav gave control to evansb "several hours" and posts before he posted the question itself :ugh:, so it's quite possible that the situation has been misread.

As the Prune clock was correct when I started this post and will show up on the main page as a fresh post as Herod's did. I'll say it again as per six posts ago!

evansb has control

Edit: Just looking in and I see the Clock's gone tits-up again, it's 20:34 GMT so let's see what time Prune says this edit was done!!

skytrain10 26th November 2011 14:45

Times test....should be 1545

Edit, appears to be ok now......and to confirm SincoTC's previous post, evansb has control.

skytrain10 28th November 2011 10:18

I think it's time to move on.

frontlefthamster 28th November 2011 19:57

Gloster Nightjar?

skytrain10 28th November 2011 22:08


Gloster Nightjar?
Not the Nightjar frontlefthamster. But it is a British aircraft.

Tacklebury 30th November 2011 09:37

Lysander (S.O.E) ?

skytrain10 30th November 2011 09:57

Good thought Tacklebury but not the Lysander.

I think this one has been up long enough.....so to get the thread moving, it's an anagram of moonlit urn.
