Anyway the point was that there are often ambiguities in quiz
questions.

I.e what is the common factor between:

Horsely
Blenheim
Lancaster
Halifax

?

There are two correct answers at least.

I'd never heard of the Hawker Horsley, but google found it.

Since the owner of the Hawker Aircraft company (Tommy Sopwith) lived in
East Horsley, it not a surprising choice of name. There's a model of the
plane in the hallway of Horsley Towers (now a hotel)

And what's the other?

There are or were all bombers

isn't that just a different way of expressing the same answer?

a bit like what do

Fiesta, Capri, Granada and Sierra have in common?

they are all Fords

oh and they are all cars

tim

the Lancaster was made by Avro, the Blenheim by Bristol & then Halifax by
Handley Page - so no similarity there, but yes they were all aeroplanes.
