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?

They are all places in britain too.

I think that's a very loose similarity

Blenheim is a stately home (when considering the UK)

the other three are towns (or cities)
