That is the correct answer!The aircraft of Tarantola had "dai Banana" written on the cowling.It translates into come on banana.

Painted on his Macchi 202 Folgore (one of Italy's better looking fighter aircraft in my opinion but not quite as elegant as the 205...)

No, but there is an aircraft ID number in there somewhere...! 🙂

Ok, here we go...

What's the link between 105 x 3 + 51 and a well known cartoon character? 

Tip. The cartoon character was hated by a hunter, cowboy and alien...

The first part of your answer is correct but not the second. There is a link between the name Bugs Bunny and the RAF though...

No. Another clue. The 6th letter of the alphabet and the leader of storms gives you the aircraft.

Did F105's take part in any Red Flag type operations out of Nellis, when the RAF were involved?  At the moment I can find no evidence that this event might lead to the answer to the current question.

On the 8th of October 1963 a RAF exchange pilot with the nickname Bugs Bunny landed with an F-105 at Nellis and saw the Loockheed A-12?

I knew the final tip would give the game away! 

RAF exchange pilot Anthony "Bugs" Bendell was leading a flight of three F105 Thunderchiefs and was forced to land at Groom Lake (Area 51) after suffering technical difficulties. As he prepared to land he got an unintentional glimpse of the Blackbird which was parked close by. Needless to say Bug's arrival at Area 51 was not popular...!

 

Over to you Senor Silvestri for the next one... 😃

Thank you very much!

What is the link between something that is very fast,a town and something that unfortunately is not what it used to be?.

Giampiero

Fast as Lightning…? P38 or English Electric?)

Another tip.When accellerating from 33 to75,90 and not to forget 145,146 and 147 you get to 156 and 159 before reaching 164 and 166 to get to the town.

Alfa Romeo is the right answer!They made aircraft engines and propeller.The town is Milan and the thing that is not what it used to be are the cars they build today.

Which watcher's speedy ambitions came to naught when the pilot failed to make best use of the retractable cockpit and bent the bird badly in pre-pole testing..?

Is it anything to do with Concorde or the Tu144...? I can't think of any other aircraft with a retractable cockpit. 🙃
