Re: 20th Century Events.

Well, I have screwed my eyes up and looked at number 10 and it is.............haven't got any idea....except it looks like an aircraft carrier, but that is boys stuff.

Yes, well your young eyes can see what mine old ones can't....all I can really make out is the conning tower...is that the right name(or is that only on a submarine)?? do they call them bulkheads on ships......I know nothing of maritime matters.

Oh Bother! I hadn't thought of that one either....the channel flight was the first that came into my mind.
I can see my score shrinking by the minute - yes....I do know it is only a game:).
