1 Patrick Ryan is a current author

2 Venus's pet was Zoonie, a Lazoon.

3 The P1127 Kestrel was the Harrier prototype, I remember the Aifix kit coming out in a bag and wondering what on earth it was!

4 The other was the Victory ship, a good friend of mine sails on a preserved one annually.

5 Bill Olmstead

6 I think a Ford Anglia

7 Judge Fullton (Lawrence Naismith) I still have the soundtrack on a 7" single.

8 The first unmanned was Luna 2 in 1959 and the first manned was Apollo 11 in July 1969

9 The original Fathom was measured as outstrethced arms and is now equal to 2 yards or 6 feet. The word itself is derived from the old english word "faethm", which actually means outstretched arms.

10 Walter Wolfe designed the periscope.
