Sorry if this is a bit biased towards the RAF in WW2...
11. Which squadron in 1940 had the codes YB-? ?
12. Which bomber squadron had the codes GB-? ?
13. 8 PFF (Pathfinder) Group was based primarily at which airfield, now in Cambridgeshire?
14. Which airfield was the first to use FIDO (Fog, Intensive Dispersal Of) operationally?
15. Three airfields were built on the east coast of England with huge runways? Name one of the three.
16. What was the RAF's first operational jet fighter?
17. Who was the only Fighter Command pilot to be awarded the Victoria Cross?
18. Who commanded 617Sqn at the time of the final successful Tirpitz raid?
19. Which four engined bomber was the first to be used operationally in WW2 by the RAF?

Not a valid question - per the unwritten rules of trivia posting, you can't ask the same questsion twice in the same week. Especially in the real world forums)

FARMAN F.222 ?
The first of the British 4-engined bombers was the Stirling.
Although in service with the VVS, I cannot confirm that the TB-3 was used by the Soviets during their invasion of Poland from the East in 1939.

Sorry, this quiz wasn't actually written for Simv, its an actual quiz i'm doing next week for an aviation society. I considered changing the question, but didn't, as the alternative was a bit tricky...
The alternative 17)
Name the two pilots awarded the VC whilst flying 582 Sqn aircraft?
