I like picture quizzes as it is not so easy to find the answers immediately on the internet. For each picture there are two parts, the first part is a simple identification and the second part is a related question:

Enjoy!

2) Name the aircraft and the one it was developed into.

7) Name the Aircraft and the engines that were fitted to it.

8) Name the motorcycle and the most famous motorcycle produced by the same manufacturer.

1.HMS Suffolk (55) was the Kent class cruiser for the Royal Navy. She was built by Chatham Dockyard (Chatham, UK), with the keel being laid down on the 15 November 1924. She was launched on the 16 March 1926, and commissioned 25 June 1928.
[edit]

History

Suffolk, like her sisters, served on the China Station, save for reconstruction, until the outbreak of World War II. She came home in 1939 and then patrolled the Denmark Straits in October 1939. In April 1940 she participated in the Norwegian Campaign. On 13 April 1940 she arrived at Tórshavn to commence the British pre-emptive occupation of the Faroe Islands. On 14 April 1940 Suffolk sank the German tanker Skagerak (6044 tons) northwest of Bodø, Norway in position 64.05N, 08.00E.
On 17 April 1940 Suffolk bombarded a German station for sea planes at Stavanger, destroying four aircraft and badly damaging the installations, but was in return badly damaged by bombs from German Ju88 aircraft of II./KG 30. X-turret's magazine had been destroyed. The ship was very lucky to survive this ordeal and she barely reached Scapa Flow with her stern awash the next morning. She was beached at Scapa Flow to prevent her sinking. Suffolk was out of action from April 1940 until February 1941 where she was repaired at Clyde
During May 1941 Suffolk was involved in the Battle of the Denmark Strait and the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck. Suffolk had engaged the battleship twice during the battle making several salvoes on her. Bismarck finally sank on 27 May 1941.
After her repairs Suffolk served with the Home Fleet in Arctic waters until the end of 1942, then underwent a refit between December 1942 and April 1943. On completion of this the ship was ordered to the Eastern Fleet, operating in the Indian Ocean until the end of the war.
Suffolk was allocated to Bisco on 25 March 1948 and was scrapped at J Cashmore's (Newport, USA) where she arrived on 24 June 1948.
See HMS Suffolk for other ships of the name.

Single cylinder, two stroke and mounted on the front wheel. You started it by pulling a handle attached to a cord that dissapeared through a hole in the dash and was attached to a pulley connected to the flywheel.

Every few months the cord wore through and you smacked the passenger in the face with the handle when you tried to start it!!

. Before I got my own wheels I used to get a lift to work in one, quite a strange motion it had.

Never drive one straight into a lock up garage always reverse her,otherwise you may not be able to start her again when attempting to get out of the vehicle ! this actually happened to a friend of mine.

**Bunkerbarge** · 03-09-2006

The one my Dad had did not have a reverse. You picked up the front end and carried it round in a circle!!!

#6 is a German Me262a-1A. Most likely was painted white since the planes were move to the Alps to try to protect them from the advancing Americans.
