AA’s suggestion
In answer to AA’s suggestion, here is the next quizz.
I’ll be interested to hear what conclusions get “drawn from that” 🙂
1930s in UK are not my forte, so this is slightly more modern:
Like AA’s last entry, the questions are not what, but where (which airfield) and when (year and month is enough).
Again the key is the surroundings rather than the aircraft itself.
(the light circle at lower left is an artefact, a website’s logo which would give it away)
1st clue: rather dramatic occasion, pretty unlikely circumstances.
… invite dan_pub to post the next ‘wot plane’ image. That way we’ll see what he considers to be ‘obscure’ and ‘elitist’. I, for one, will find that most interesting.
OK, I’ll answer. But I’ll cease the discussion if turns to personal attacks again. (you AA haven’t, but enough others have)
Since you ask, yes indeed I consider that a quizz which depends so heavily on very-local-British clues such as the shape of a hill in the South Downs, or as the Long Man of Wilmington, is rather oscure and clique-ish.
Not everyone here is British, and for foreigners, …
Would you consider it fair is someone asked to recognize the occasion based on the topology in this photo? It is very unique, in the north of the country.
Actually it is so unique that most people in the country could tell the exact day.
Would this be of general interest, or just for a limited circle?
Back to the orignial subject: yes, for future, I’d prefer if the quizzes were less geared to an “old boys” circle and more open to the general population. Can we discuss it without going personal or unpleasant?
Pros and cons welcome.
I am going to post a quizz as you suggest, in a separate post.
