Friday snuck up on me, only got tomorrow off then back to work, so I had better get cracking
1. Who in 535BC lead the invasion by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire of the Ostroagothic Kingdom originally founded by Theoderic the Great?
2. What is the name of the sloop that James Cook sailed on his second and third voyages in the pacific?
3. Who commanded the British Expeditionary Force at the start of WWI
4. Where and when was the first Tiger I (Panzer VI's) first used in combat?
5. Name the Stealth Bomber built by Northrop Grumman
So a bit later than usual, answers over the weekend or Monday
Answers a little bit early this week
1. Justinian I and yes adding AD would have helped a little but has has been mentioned no Byzantine Empire was around IN BC.
2. HMS Resolution for the second and third whilst the first was in the HMS Endeavour.
3. It was indeed Sir John French who interestingly started his military career as a Midshipman in the Royal Navy.
4. The Tigers were rushed into service weeks earlier than recommended on the 23rd September 1942 near Leningrad in muddy conditions that reduced their use and made the first combat trials disappointing.
5. B-2 Spirit, I thought it was a totally different plane.

1. Should that read 535AD? Don't know the answer anyway.
ReplyDelete2. Endeavor?
3. Kitchener. A guess, as I doubt it was Haig.
4. I knew it was 1942, but it turns out I got the wrong continent.
5. I know this. Bugger. Just can't think... I can see it now. Just cheched. I got it wrong. I was numerically short by a unit.

1. There was no Byzantine Empire in 535 BC, assuming you mean AD, Justinian the Great

3. John French
4. Don't know, going to guess 1942, eastern front

Not quite perfect, my tank answer didn't get all the details, and I missed spirit on the B-2, 4.5 out of 5

I got the tiger but with the rest I didn't seem so bright.
ReplyDeleteSome of these were tough but the right questions for some of the guys obviously.
