Well, after seeing videos of wings coming apart from the planes, and then landing gear failing to deploy on other planes, I’ll go with tailgunner on a Lancaster bomber.
Flag colors:
Red, white, blue

Eiffel Tower
Arc de Triomphe
Notre Dame
Notre Dame
Big Ben
Buckingham Palace
Windsor Castle
Buckingham palace
White House
Washington monument
Lincoln memorial
Lincoln Memorial
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Colosseum
Pantheon
That’s tough, guess I’d go with the Colosseum.
Asian pyramids
Egyptian pyramids
South American pyramids
Isn’t it interesting that different cultures in different parts of the world had roughly the same ideas for pyramids?
Egyptian pyramids: generally purer of geometric form.
And yes, three different styles arising is culturally very interesting, from an anthropological standpoint.
(Interesting on the Colosseum: I’d have chosen Parthenon, though both operated as Temples at times.)
Best (in terms of shelter from rough oceans) deepwater harbour in winter weather:
Rekjavik
Altenfjord
Polyarny
Regards, Uyraell.
Pyramids are relatively basic structures, from a creative point of view. They just created stone hills/mountains…
Reykjavik
The Forbidden City
The Great Wall of China
Old Town of Lijiang
I was going to go with Forbidden City . . . but Lijiang is anthropologically more interesting by far, so that is my choice.

XE Craft
Kaiten
DSRV
Regards, Uyraell.
The XE craft, at least someone won a Victoria Cross in its use.
Iowa class battleships
King George V class battleships
Bismarck class battlehips
Have to go with Iowa Class.
KGV were almost a match, but the Panzerschiff, while a valid response to the need, was not truly in the same category as either Iowa Class or KGV Class.
(Mechanical simplicity as a military technological virtue.)

Forgive me if I’m wrong, Schmidt, but did you not ask an identical question about 5 pages back, in this A,B,C thread?
:shock::rolleyes:
I’m intrigued.
30.06.

Kleinkampfmittel Verband
Regards, Uyraell.
It was .45, 9mm and .600 Nitro Express instead of nambu, .30-06, and .700 Nitro Express
Decima Flotiglis Mas
(couldn’t find anything on sbs)
Action movie “heroes”
Bruce Willis
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Clint Eastwood - He’s the oldest of them and still manages to be relevant nowadays (though as a director, not an actor).
Dirty Harry
A Fistful of Dollars
Unforgiven
Unforgiven.
(SBS : Special Boat Service, an outgrowth of both SAS and Combined Operations Pilotage Parties, with added elements from the X-Craft diver training programs.)
BMW 801TR
Bristol Centaurus III
Wright Double Cyclone Compound Turbo series
(as used in Lockheed Super Constellation, for eg.)
Regards, Uyraell.
Anything that has “cylcone” and “turbo” in its name has got to be good!

History
Social Studies
Dude… History. Followed by social studies. (I always sucked at the first two)
