There was a potentially easier way of you'd picked up on the direction of the quiz, but well done for finding it anyway.

I was originally going to make this as all AFVs but I thought you'd walk it in five minutes. Not sure I need to have worried now 🤷

Three solid clue words in the quiz description and you missed them. I'd have thought the tank would confirm it for you... and you come up with a Tachikawa 🤦

The clue was in the text, twice. You did seem to accidentally get one right though.

It was awesome, but ornithopter technology was in its infancy. Still, the French perfected the art of making architecture fly.

IIRC, he had a 25 minute flight with an engine that would overheat after 15. He ended up in fog at wave top height and it's believed that he was saved by sea spray cooling his engine. He missed his intended landing spot and had to make a forced landing elsewhere as his engine was about to pack up.

Same fing innit. Anyway, bizarre that an aeroplane builder had a better phonetic grasp than a top public school 🤷

Clues were in the post. 'degree' 'learn' Three aircraft include the name of a renowned public school. The fourth contains the name of a traditional top university.

I believe that was Zvezda. I added scratch built headlights (a piece of polystyrene rod) to the empty posts. I don't buy their kits now though as I won't knowingly contribute to the Russian economy. Frustrating though as they've become a pretty decent kit maker.

The Wellesley. What a concept.
Big, single engine aeroplane with an open cockpit and open dorsal gunner position.

Pods under wings carried bombs.

They always make me wonder if they're a makeshift answer after finishing the aircraft and suddenly realising they'd forgotten to include a bomb bay.
