+drdick&vick Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Your turn to set the question Silver Fox Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 As Silver Fox was due to set the question and he has said on another thread he is off to the Peak District today, may suggest the next person to view this thread set the question in the interests of keeping the quiz going?

+careygang Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Resisting the temptation to turn this into a Sci-Fi quiz, here's a 2 parter on British Military Trivia... Only one Victoria Cross has ever been struck/minted which does not get listed in official records. It was placed somewhere by Queen Victoria in 1856. Where was it placed and where is it now? Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Where was it placed and where is it now? Albert Memorial/Imperial War Museum Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Where was it placed and where is it now? Albert Memorial/Imperial War Museum Sorry - as they used to say on Catchphrase, good answers, but wrong on both counts. Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 From my reading, I seem to recall one was placed in a time capsule/cornerstone type thing shortly after the VC came out. At a hospital I believe. No idea of present location. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Its at Aldershot somewhere but not sure exactly where and don't have any idea where it came from so a guesse is out of the ground somewhere. I will now PAF who is in the army at Aldershot. Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We have some 3/4 right on both counts. It was in what we would now refer to as a Time Capsule at a hospital, but which Hospital? It was know by at least 2 names that I am aware of... Secondly it is near Aldershot, but of course that is a big Army area, so lets try to get a bit more specific... Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) OK my PAF has just confirmed that it is a medical museum near Aldershot and that it came from the Victoria Military Hospital which explains the connection between the medal and it's original location. Must admit 60% of this came from my PAF at Aldershot base so I am not that clever. So if anybody else wants to set a question feel free, going off line now so will check in tomorrow am and if no question I will set one. Edited November 30, 2008 by DrDick&Vick Quote Link to comment

DING for the Dr (quite fitting really ) Queen Victoria placed it in the foundations of the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley in Hampshire, which was also know as Netley Hospital. When it was demolished in the 1960's, the artefacts including the VC were recovered and the VC went to the Army Medical Services Museum near Aldershot.

+on4bam Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 If you've got another question rady that is near enough for a DING I really meant: The Searchers I think this will be a bit harder to solve: A Belgian singer/songwriter who was in a band with her brother Gert made a guest appearance in "Buffy the vampire slayer". She played herself as a singer in a bar. Who is she? Extra hint: She now lives in Tennesee. More hints follow if this should prove to difficult Quote Link to comment

Not sure what the definition is but I think these are the animals you have to report if you knock 'em over with your car! missed my go......... ;-( I'm confused now as to if this is a 'Ding-able' Question?? keehotee should have set a question but hasn't done so and Rutson is right about the animals; they're the definition in the Road Traffic Act for animals if you are involved in an accident with an 'animal'... Cats don't count because they are regarded as free roaming like chickens... Quote Link to comment

So where do we go from here? Maxkim said theirs was just for fun, but there's been no 'official Q' from keehoetee... Anyone care to set a Question? How about Rutson? Quote Link to comment
