1.  What is the only engine to hold the world speed record for aircraft, land vehicles, and water vehicles?

2.  What WWII aircraft engine was based on this engine?

3.  What variants of a current AH aircraft used the WWII version of this engine?  Why the hell aren't they in Aces High yet?

Hmmmm..... for some strange reasons the words RR Griffons and Spitfire come to mind.

Nah, Funked would never post something about either of those subjects.

Can we get a limit put on Widewing answering trivia questions? Say, 5 ppl have to guess before he can give the correct answer?
