simi_av8r 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 if you guys are still struggling by 5pm tonight, then i'll post a further (and final) clue. Just to help motivate your grey matter, maybe you should think outside of the box with the clues already given (repeated below) Clue 1 was : The City Of Birmingham is nearby Clue 2 was: A female by the name of Jessica is associated with this airfield. wrong guesses so far - Coventry, Tattenhil Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Very strange, I'll explain my, wrong, answer. Jessica is an air ambulance used in the midlands, based in Tattenhill. I looked on google maps and the airfield looked the same as the one you posted. However, closer inspection shows that there are no X's on the runways :eyebrow: Link to post Share on other sites

mike H 456 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi simi, I think it is Dunsfold, where is the 747. and it is miles away from Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Ha. Jessica, the Top Gear soundtrack. Top Gear is filmed at Dunsfold! Good one Simi. Not sure how the City of Birmingham links in as the only other thing I know called that is an LMS steam loco currently located in...Birmingham! 4 Privet Drive etc... Harry Potter --> Dumbledore --> Gambon = Corner on the Top Gear track. Parts of Casino Royale were filmed here too. Well done Mike! Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi simi, I think it is Dunsfold, where is the 747. and it is miles away from Birmingham. Ladies & Gents, WE HAVE A WINNER!! Well done Mike, yes it is Dunsfold Aerodrome, congrats. Quite a tough one i think, but the clues were there.... here are the answers to the clues, just in case you still don't get them: Clue: The City Of Birmingham is nearby Answer: The 747 at Dunsfold was previously owned by BA, and it's fleet name wa, yep you guessed it, "The City Of Birmingham" Clue: A female by the name of Jessica is associated with the airfield Answer: 'Jessica' is the name of song by "The Allman Brothers Band" used as the theme for Top Gear, and here it is in full for your aural pleasure Clue: This airfield is of Royale calibre Answer: Dunsfold Aerodrome has been featured in numerous movies over time, but most recently was 'James Bond 007: Casino Royale' and the bonus clue.. Clue: 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey' may lead you to a person who has a place in history at this airfield Answer: in the Harry Potter movies, the Hogwarts headmaster was Albus Dumbledore. Played by the late Michael Gambon (R.I.P), who, in Top Gears "Star In our Reasonably Priced Car" nearly rolled the car on a number of laps at the same corner. This corner was then dedicated to Michael Gambon as "Gambon Corner". So, as i said all along, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. The clues were there guys, congrats to Mike once again!!!
