In a similar vein-

Another airield:

Scrambled eggs

frontlefthamster 6th December 2011 12:25

Stapleford or Gothenburg perhaps?

NutherA2 6th December 2011 12:35

Stapleford it is, over to you..........

frontlefthamster 6th December 2011 14:35

And another...

I heard it's a little more than a mile behind where it all stagnates...

NutherA2 6th December 2011 21:53

Moreton-in-Marsh?

frontlefthamster 7th December 2011 06:42

Not Moreton-in-Marsh, I'm afraid...

Groundloop 7th December 2011 08:24

Linton-on-Ouse?

frontlefthamster 7th December 2011 09:22

Nor is it Linton, I'm afraid...

Clue to follow this afternoon, if needs be...

frontlefthamster 7th December 2011 16:29

I'll unravel a bit...

You need to work out 'where it all stagnates' (and keep it brief!),

Then put that in front of 'a little more than a mile', to come up with the second part of the answer. The whole thing sounds like an airfield.

The two attempts above were not barking up the right tree...

Good luck!

Evening...not had the chance to look in until now. Would it be Enstone?

frontlefthamster 7th December 2011 18:52

Malheuresement, non.

Captain Dart 8th December 2011 00:09

Le Touquet?

frontlefthamster 8th December 2011 03:17

Well done Captain Dart! :D

(Stagnation occurs at the Leading Edge, and 2K is a little more than a mile).

Captain Dart has control.

Captain Dart 9th December 2011 05:29

Sorry for the delay folks, I am Antipodean and I PPRuNE at different hours to those in Europe and UK. Due to a busy flying roster coming up I'll throw my turn open to the field as I've already had a go:

First in has control :ok:!

Manufacturer and type "Northern town saint above beach"

NutherA2 9th December 2011 14:39

Boulton & Paul Overstrand, maybe.............if correct Open House

Herod 9th December 2011 17:07

That was too easy. You're right.

frontlefthamster 9th December 2011 18:36

An easier one than my last...

Aircraft:

They're jammy, in front of John Reith... It'll last for eternity.

frontlefthamster 10th December 2011 17:29

I thought this would go quickly... But it hasn't, so...

I can add something by saying that 'they' are ladies, a knowledge of British culture will take you through the first two elements of the clue, and the final element uses an alternative and shorter spelling of the word concerned...

frontlefthamster 11th December 2011 06:36

Well, more hours have passed without interest, so either there's something people don't like about this challenge or the predictions of early mortality for this thread are coming true...

A busy day ahead so let's make it...
