Quiz: What do you think happened next?

[Mstar]

Went to a small air show in Cambridgeshire yesterday and witnessed this aircraft.

Not the best photo, I know, however, can you guess what happened next?

[tomd]

He went inverted?

[Mstar]

No!

Try again

[Etnies]

A dinosaur popped out of the ground and ate the plane and the pilot. I know this because I was there and saw it happen.

[gjl711]

Jumped out, went to pick some daisies, ran to catch up and hopped in again. Those tings fly so slow. :):)

[Mstar]

Ahhaah, no dinosaurs, apart from a few relics -maybe you are getting confused?

Try again.

[-MasterChief-]

yeah, im with Etnies on this one. it was Barney the dinosaur! :D :D

[Mstar]

No daisies, try again

[Mstar]

roeddel, nope, still no dinos. Try again

[Etnies]

He crashed.

Why don't you tell us now.

[Mstar]

No crash!

Etnies, ;) I think I'll wait until a few hours time or tomorrow to show you, unless someone gets it correct earlier. ;)

[Travisj]

Pam Anderson appeared in the front seat:evil:

[-MasterChief-]

i know, i know! it was shot down by an Imperial Destroyer! and then Chewbacca bailed out and parachuted. :D :D

[Mstar]

Travisj, that would have caused a crash! No superbabe!

Try again

[S.Horton]

He hit a bird.

[Mstar]

Roeddel, no Raptor!

Try again

[Mstar]

Hortonl62, no birdstrike.

Try again

[gjl711]

Can you give a hint? Is it tragic or funny? I would hate to be posting funny responses only to find out he crashed, was chopped to bits by the flying propellor right in front of his 11 kids and dying mom. That would suck

[Mstar]

gij711, no crash, nothing nasty/messy etc

Have a go..

[gjl711]

He picked up a banner that read "Death to Barney":)

I'm glad it was not tragic, I mean his poor mom.

[Mstar]

gil711, nope, but a really good try.

[Travisj]

Did he give a rebel yell and shout more, more, more.

[justincase724]

I'll have a go. He flies into a cave covered by a waterfall and drives out the back in the Batmobile.

[Mstar]

Did he give a rebel yell and shout more, more, more.

Travisj, now you're being silly!


I'll have a go. He flies into a cave covered by a waterfall and drives out the back in the Batmobile.

No Batmobiles were involved.

[gjl711]

gil711, nope, but a really good try.
Which part, the banner part or death to barney? ;)

Ok, next guess, he picked up a parachutist in one of those high speed parafoils. The chutist dropped the chute and both sped away at a whopping 45 mph. :)

[Mstar]

Gjl711, No parachutes involved. Try again

[Travisj]

Travisj, now you're being silly!.


Ok, ya caught me:lol:

[joegolf68]

Please, please, I can't wait any longer.

Hmmm, yes I can, I guess I don't like these games at all.

[Matthew62024]

You took another picture of this plane?

[Lowieken]

It actually is a transformer robot and it transformed into erh erh erh a robot

[greg20d]

a jet flew past at high speed?

[gjl711]

a jet flew past at high speed? No, a duck flew past it. :):)

[bamatt]

He landed...

[bamatt]

Or he inverted and cut a ribbon that two people had stretched across the airstrip.

Or, he climbed out onto the wing ( I see a tether on the right wing).

[Eagle]

He landed on the back of a truck driving down the road. Either that or you put the camera down and cracked open a beer.

[gjl711]

The suspense is killing me.

[Jim G.]

Sometimes, in a stiff breeze, a bi-plane can hover or even fly backwards. Is that what he did? Maybe he got thrown off the plane for not taking off his shoes at security ?

[ErikAnderson]

TTFTD.

[Cybnew]

nothing?

[ofdphoto]

One of the wheels fell off on landing.

[gjl711]

One last guess, it was joined by a Spitfire and a Harrier and all three flew into the sunset. Ok, I give up, fess up already, what happened?

[PhotosGuy]

The Red Baron showed up?

[qtaran111]

The stewardess started serving drinks and then realised they were out of coffee :shock:

[uk86ze]

he got pulled by the police for speeding
and got clamped and taken away

[gjl711]

he got pulled by the police for speeding
and got clamped and taken awaySpeeding?? Not in that bird. ;):)

[thekid24]

He flew into a batch of flying monkeys ....in which case one happened to latch on and sit on the wing next to the pilot...while stunned to begin with the monkey then spoke...amazed the pilot did a couple of rolls to the right and then got his bearings back and straightened out the plane.

Still in shock that not only did he fly into a batch of flying monkeys but that he is talking to one now. So he asks "how did you learn to talk?" and the moneky replied "The Simpsons".

After a long discussion where the pilot asked the monkey questions that any other person would ask a flying talking monkey....the lil fella then gave the pilot three stones....and told him they would bring him much luck.

After the monkey flew off the pilot crashed....after being flung from the plane the pilot landed by a huge iron pot. As the man struggled to pull himself up...he noticed the top of the pot emiting a bright light....as he stood....he discovered A POT OF GOLD!!!! and a ziplock bag full of lucky charms.

Was I right or was I right?

[S.Horton]

He threw up.

[Travisj]

He scared a deer out of the bushes.

[S.Horton]

Somone suddenly popped up in the seat in front.

[thekid24]

was I even close?

[gjl711]

was I even close?
Somehow, I think not. You were fine all the way to the Ziplok full of lucky charms. I mean, that just pushed it into the ridiculous.

[Mstar]

You took another picture of this plane?

Well, yes but not the correct answer. Cheeky! :)

It actually is a transformer robot and it transformed into erh erh erh a robot

Ahh.. no!

a jet flew past at high speed?

I know what you were thinking, alas not the right answer.

No, a duck flew past it. :):)

Sorry, no!

He landed...

Good try, but no.

He landed on the back of a truck driving down the road. Either that or you put the camera down and cracked open a beer.

I would liked to have seen that. I did have a headache the next day however!

Interesting, but no!

TTFTD.

huh? Off topic something? No!

nothing?

Nope!

One of the wheels fell off on landing.

Thankfully, no! Good try.

One last guess, it was joined by a Spitfire and a Harrier and all three flew into the sunset. Ok, I give up, fess up already, what happened?

Nice idea, but no!

The Red Baron showed up?

Another nice idea, but, sorry no.

he got pulled by the police for speeding
and got clamped and taken away

Funny! :), but no.

The stewardess started serving drinks and then realised they were out of coffee :shock:

Nah.

He flew into a batch of flying monkeys ....in which case one happened to latch on and sit on the wing next to the pilot...while stunned to begin with the monkey then spoke...amazed the pilot did a couple of rolls to the right and then got his bearings back and straightened out the plane.

Was I right or was I right?

Wow! Great story. Craziest and most amusing by far. After all that, no! Sorry.:(

He threw up.

Lovely! No! I'm about to have diner, thanks!

He scared a deer out of the bushes.

No! :confused:

Somone suddenly popped up in the seat in front.

Nope.

I was off with the monkeys huh? Was it squirrels

[S.Horton]

Mstar title vote: Mystery Man

Cool thread idea.

More guesses:
- A car hit your gear, nothing happened to the plane
- The model was dismantled; this is a toy in a mock-up shot of flight
- The pilot threw something from the plane
- The pilot flipped you the bird
- He delivered your new L lens

[gjl711]

The guy never landed? He is still flying today? WOW!!!! Impressive.

[Matthew62024]

Sweet!! I was right. What do I win?

[the_incubus]

Mstar, tell us already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gjl711]

Mstar, tell us already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, it's driving me crazy.:confused:

[Mstar]

Last Sunday, I went to Little Gransden, a private grass airstrip ,in Cambridgeshire, where once a year they open their doors to the public and raise money for the BBC's Children In Need. They had an airshow and customized cars display.

I thought it would give me the opportunity to get closer to more unusual planes and practice a bit.

They did have quite a variety of planes, some really weird looking, some quite old, some very sporty- all had propellers and there were no jets. All in all a different and very nice small airshow.

______________________________________________

Ok, back to the quiz:

I think the closest to the correct answer should be: bamatt.

Or he inverted and cut a ribbon that two people had stretched across the airstrip.

Or, he climbed out onto the wing ( I see a tether on the right wing).

Barmatt said that two people had stretched a ribbon across the airstrip- CORRECT and the plane inverted and cut it- INCORRECT.

______________________________________________

What happened was, the airshow had a flying circus doing a display. "Denis Neville's Flying Circus" and they did the following:

1) Fly UNDER a ribbon that two people put across a small paddock (not the airstrip)

2) Hop OVER the hedge of the paddock

3) Fly UNDER a ribbon that two people put across now in the airstrip

4) Fly around and do it again with several other aircraft.

They even did it in both directions.

They also bombed ground targets with flour bombs. I can confirm they used PLAIN flour! Boom Boom! Also, they were destroying helium filled balloons two at a time in mid air that were let loose.

[Mstar]

Two more.

Now under the ribbon on the airstrip, and one flying away to repeat the stunt.

Sorry about the poor quality, but shooting into the light is never good.

[thekid24]

drats I was close!!!!!

and i was SOOOOOOOOO hoping that reading through all the guesses would actually pay off in the end :mad::mad::mad:

off to bed now, I'm dissappointed

Same here, I was expecting something unusual after all this hype. :(

Bit of an anti-climax.
