The BTN Quiz winner

The competition was won and lost with the answer to question 40, the Vickers Vimy replica landing at Brooklands and not Farnborough.

This final flight took place into a special strip, the former runway, on 15 November 2009. Congratulations to Simon Grigor, a retired civil servant, living near Northolt, not far from Heathrow who also won in 2017.

He and another past winner, Phil Spicer, were able to identify all the images and both agreed that Turkish Airlines was the best carrier at Heathrow T2.  

Our image was deliberately not clear, but one below shows unmistakably the massive Mercedes showroom on the site.  Just what would have the Brooklands workers of 1917 building Sopwith Camels to fight in the Great War made of it.

Rod Simpson took both images.  No problem in identifying the venue.
