I'm thinking of a WW II twin-engined type that was produced in three different countries during the war and, no, it's not the Mosquito.
Name all three countries and their respective designators for the type.

Hi Mike
Here's another "oldie" - but I think it's an easy one:
What engine powered the Lockheed XP-80 and what was its original British designation?
All the best

If we're talking XP-80, it's a deHavilland Halford H-1B, or Goblin - also built as the Allis Chalmers J36.

Spot on Mike!
If you can come up with an answer like that at 4:30am, I hate imagine how sharp you are after coffee and breakfast!
Back to you for the next question.
All the best

Hey, it's Mike. Any messages? :-)
Just got off from printing our election day edition
My brain hurts, I'm bleeding from the nose and ears, and I have a trivia question that's kinda aviation-related.
What was the objective of the Bruneval raid? And you can phrase your answer in the form of an answer :-)

Ah, now I'm mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence

I figured since it was an air search radar I could get away with that question here lol.

Making me feel my age now. I got to see a Gannet flying in the pattern at NAS Norfolk VA. in the 1970's when the Ark Royal paid a port call there. Nothing like seeing one haul itself around the circuit, and that Double Mamba sounded like nothing else I've heard before or since.
Thanks for the memory Martin

off topic, but I'm punch drunk as I'm trying to lay out a football special section, so who cares?
(excerpt from an old Armed Forces Radio and Television Service filler) Why does Smokey the Bear carry a shovel? Ever try to eat jello with a fire hose?
You go ahead and take the question Andy
