Blitz Quiz #5 - Copper - 07-11-2006 Ok Guys I ask 5 questions. You e-mail me the answers. The quiz stays open for 5 days. After 5 days I start going through my received e-mails and the first person with all 5 answers correct gets 5 bonus ladder points. 1 - In the Falklands War 2 Para had 4 objectives to capture - name them? 2 - Which Barachute Brigade spearheaded Operation Musketeer? 3 - When the first battle colours were presented to the regiment on 19th July 1950 by King George VI what was special about the occassion which was a first in the British Army? 4 - Five VC's were awarded to men who took par in the Arnhem operation. How many were awarded posthumously? 5 - Name Britains first Airborne operation? I look forward to having the answers mailed to me.

Paul RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - jonnymacbrown - 07-14-2006 Ok, so let's have the answers already! RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Copper - 07-15-2006 What does a barachute do? Seriously though. I think this should be an online quiz. You give 5 questions and then when guys answer 1-5 you say - you have 3 out of 5 but dont give them which ones etc. Much more interesting in my book. And for 5 ladder points - woof, the Blitz generosity knows no bounds! You can get 5 points for being creamed in a 50 million point QB! Give em 50! RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Copper - 07-15-2006 Point 1 is a good idea and I will incorporate that into the next quiz as for point 2 I think you have gripped the wrong end of the stick. We dont award points for any huge reward its just a little thankyou for taking the time to join in. Its just meant to be a little fun timewaster. Bootie RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Antoni Chmielowski - 07-25-2006 Bootie, Who was the lucky winner & more importantly ... what the answers ? RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Copper - 07-25-2006 Ok no one got all 5 answers correct and I will post the answers later. Bootie RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Antoni Chmielowski - 07-25-2006 Cheers m8 ! Who got closest (modesty prevents me asking directly how I did !). RE: Blitz Quiz #5 - Copper - 07-26-2006 Answers. 1 Burntside House Boca House Darwin Goose Green 2 3rd Battallion Parachute Regiment 3 All 3 battallions were awarded them at the same time. 4 Four 5 Colossus A few of you were close but no one achieved 5 out of 5. Well done to those who gave it a go. Bootie
