Off topic- Quiz Section

Im afraid not this one. :roll:

My gun picture in the General discussian quiz turned out to be a disaster. I hope this one might turn out a little better. This might be tricky.

Whats the name of this gun?

I want to say MP18… but the ammo cartridge is curved and the stock folding GAH, I think it is a… huh stumped me, lol looks like an MP5 with the cartridge sticking out of the side.

Sterling SMG.

This submachine gun had been developed in the 1940s by the Patchett at the Sterling Armament Co., Great Britain, and had been adopted by british Army in 1953. It remained in army service well untill early 1990s, when it was replaced by L85A1 assault rifle.
Sterling is a relatively simple, but wery well made, blowback operated gun. The receiver and the barrel heat shield was made from steel tube, the bolt was machined, with fixed firing pin and four special ribs, designed to gather and remove the dust and fouling from the receiver. The curved magazine is inserted from the left side, spent cases are ejected to the right. The folding butt is made from stamped steel. Silenced version of the Sterling, oficially labelled as L34A1, replaced in service the older STEN Mark 6 silenced.
The Sterling SMG deserved wery high reputation along the troops due to extreme reliability and good accuracy.

You got it!

Sorry for my late reply! :oops:

Here it is a new one:

Name the events tooked place in Eastern Europe in 1956 and 1968 (and also name the leaders of that events).
:smiley:

Prague Spring and April theses.

Not sure of the leaders

Correct on Prague Spring only

1968 - Prague Spring - Alexander Dubcek
1956 - Hungarian Uprising - Imre Nagy

Edit: phpBB can’t handle special characters apparently

You forgot their opponents:
Khrustchev and Brezhnev

Jan

pdf27 you got it!
Walther, I intended to ask only about the leaders of the events and not also about the leaders of the opponents. Thanks for adding!! :smiley:

Cheers.
Another photo quiz for you here… What is the aircraft type at upper right, and what is it doing?

No extra information needed, but the more you can provide the more impressed I’ll be…

The event is an early air-to-air refuelling.

The receiver is either a Sunderland or an Empire Flying Boat.

The tanker is a Handley Page (Harrow?)

Possibly late 1930’s

Harrow:

Sunderland:

Bang on - I had a feeling that would be a rather easy one. From memory the reciever is an Empire (C?) class flying boat - definately not a Sunderland. Would give you the details but I’ve mislaid the website I got it from :frowning:

Anyways, your question.

I will not be able to get a question out until this evening, so anyone else who has one feel free to do this before if you like.

I assume that Firefly willl not be upset if I’ll post a quiz:

:lol: :lol:
WTF is this??? (TO BE READ: Please name the vehicle, the army that used it and the year) :lol:

:lol: :lol: hahaha looks like the primitives or natives used that for their army against the germans made out of some kind of straw and tree bark. :lol: :lol:

Guess what this plane is called?

Commando, answer at my quiz and if your answer is right, then you could post a question.

Edited: Hint: When saving picture, change also the name of it. It is F 111 (track back)

Concerning the last question:

It is an RAAF F-111 Ardvaark going full blast with reheat on.
