A Zeppelin Mooring Mast: A dirigible mast, now the base of the TV tower, was part of the original construction of the Building. One attempt to moor a privately owned blimp was successful for three minutes. But during a second attempt, in September 1931, a Navy Blimp was almost upended and nearly swept away celebrities attending the historic affair, while the water ballast drenched pedestrians several blocks away. The mooring mast idea was ultimately abandoned.

What did Sylvan Goldman invent?

[Big J R]

The Shopping Trolley, (though she couldn't invent one without a wobbly wheel or one that would go in a straight line !!)

 

One for David H.

 

The terms 'CIRCUS', 'RODEO', and 'SWEEP' are military terms from WW2.

 

Which service and what do they mean ?

[David Holden]

It's the RAF:

 

Circus operations - Fighter-escorted daylight bombing attacks against short-range targets with the aim of bringing the enemy air force to battle

 

Rodeo - Fighter sweep

 

sweep - systematic operation to flush out targets in a given area e.g. fighter sweep

[Big J R]

Very good David !!!! I'm impressed. I thought it would take you a little longer than that.

 

You can tell what sort of books I'm borrowing from the library at the moment, unlike you, who must have served !

 

Were you at Hornchurch, or Manston ??

 

YOUR GO !

[David Holden]

That could get you banned for a month. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

I'm not that old, I'm just interested in Miltary Aircraft!

Which British magazine stopped publishing after 104 years in 1984?
