Question of the day

[daverichardson]

This was on TV over the weekend so i will keep quiet for a while

 

[midlifecrisis]

Yes I watched it too, hence why I'm asking the question. I noticed the name and thought that it'll make a good teaser for this forum.

 

[spkennyuk]

I've never seen the film so i'm out on this one.

Thanks chipping in with the sports quiz questions earlier. It went well on the night.

 

[daverichardson]

Almost a full day now so I will chip in
The S. African was van der stick, or van der post or van der pole
The ambulance was Katy

If this is accepted I have a follow up Q

 

[midlifecrisis]

Dave, correct the ambulance was Katy. The south African was Van Der Poel.

Over to you.

 

[daverichardson]

Thanks
Still on films
One of my all time favourite films had a main character called Renault and a lesser character called Ferrari
Which film?

One of many people's all time favourites too - Casablanca I believe?

Not sur of the Ferrari chappie

[spkennyuk]

[zagatoes30]

Glad that one has gone as I had no clue on the answer

 

[StuartW]

Prior to it's retirement in 2008, the F-117 'stealth fighter' was based at which USAF base where it flew under the 49th Fighter Command?

That's me in the centre, sitting in the cockpit

 

[spkennyuk]

There being kept warm in Nevada now incase they are needed again. Not sure where they were based before that. Still doing test flights it seems.

 

[highlander]

they are stealth.............so they are behind you!

 

[daverichardson]

So we need a UK airbase that nobody goes to, out in the sticks
Rule out Scotland because of the SNP viewpoint and we are left with Southern England
Brize Norton?

 

[StuartW]

It's in the US. My brother in law, pictured left, was on an exchange programme where he was seconded from the RAF to the USAF to fly the stealth. Nicola (on the right) were there visiting on holiday back in 2004.

It was an amazing experience seeing this highly secretive plane at close quarters

 

[midlifecrisis]

Lakenheath

 

[StuartW]

Another clue - it's in New Mexico
