Umm ... an eight-reindeer sleigh (with the rear navigation light at the wrong end, for some reason). But this is surely too obvious.

Awww Sean, you've been a good boy, and Santa will get you what you want this year.

But nope. And if anyone has pics of santa in plane post them for fun too.

Ok here's a clue, who does Santa fly with? It's a proper question whether you believe in him or not
And it aint reindeers. Purleess.

Sorry JP

I don't get the question... There are pics of Santa in lots of airlines' advertising, but Finnair claim to be the official airline of Santa Claus.

All the best

Hi again

OK, just to get you in the mood, what's the link between a Canadian aircraft, Paris and Christmas?

All the best

Hi again

No ideas yet? OK, clue #1 - it was WW2 and the aircraft was in US service.

All the best

Hi guys

No neither's right so far. Clue #2 - It's Paris, France, and think of a flight that never reached its destination. (There's also a corny clue in the wording of the original question )

All the best

Hi there

Yes - the link is Glenn Miller, so Kelly gets to ask the next question. But it wasn't a Lockheed Hudson. It was a Canadian aircraft - Christmas brownie points for the right answer to that bit.

All the best

Local rumour has it that Miller's Norseman is buried under the runway at Santa pod race way(formally R.A.F.Poddington),in Northamptonshire not far from where it took off from at Twinwood Farm Bedfordshire

Nice one Andy

You get the brownie points for the Norseman. And I've never heard that rumour before - I reckon it deserves a couple of extra credits.

All the best

Post WW I, non-British

A possibly unhelpful clue, the aircraft model designation incorporates the makers' initials and the year.......
