    Gimme some time to come up with the next Q.

    Okay, found something.

    <span class="ev_code_YELLOW">ID?</span>



    I'm off to bed now so it will take a few hours before I will get back here.

    <span class="ev_code_yellow">Rules (courtesy of Dance, see about 8 posts down).
    ------

    1. When a person answers a question and it is confirmed as correct by the poster of the
    question, they then have the floor and are expected to ask the next question.

    (You are only allowed to ask a question if the above rule has been adhered to.)

    2. If a question isn't asked within 24 hours then it will be assumed that the person
    supposed to ask the question has a problem, then the floor will be made open for anyone to
    ask the next question to allow the quiz to continue. The same applies if an answer is given and confirmation is not forthcoming within 24 hours

    3. Question are to be related to World War II air warfare.

    4. If a multiple part question is asked, only one point will be awarded for the answer.

    Guidelines
    ----------

    1. To allow fluid running of the quiz, if you answer a question correctly but cannot post
    a new question or won't be able to check for answers to your new question, please ask
    someone else to post the next question. This doesn't mean you can't go to work or bed but
    please be considerate when possible.

    2. Please don't abuse the above guideline by just answering questions and then passing it
    to someone else all the time, instead of asking one yourself (see rule 1).

    3. If you have posted a question and it becomes obvious that nobody knows the answer, it is customary to offer a hint or clue.

    4. When posting picture questions, it is recommended that you do not direct link. Use
    something like 'Photobucket' to host your pictures (most people can see pictures linked
    from there, whereas some other sites are not visible globally) and don't forget to disguise the name of the picture</span>

    Let's hope the previous thread doesn't get deleted like the others, at least not until I get a chance to update the scores. blairgowrie wasn't going to touch the thread because of deletions, shortening threads is one thing, deleting them is another matter.

    Well Done Waldo.Pepper!
    It ís Werner Mölders.
    Here is the image from the German Bundesarchiv together with his friend Adolf Galland.
    And I found another similar image but then vice versa of Mölders watching Galland explaining his fighter pursuit techniques.

    Your turn now W.P.

    Based upon how quickly the Magnetron/H2S question got answered I shall have to dig deeper into the obscure. Hope you don't mind another radar question.

    THis is a picture of the SCR-270 radar.



    The same type that had detected the incomming raid on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941.

    Sadly, this historical equipment did not survive until this day. This set, did some more useful work protecting another nation, when it was removed and set up elsewhere.

    Q. What was the other nation that the Pearl Harbor SCR-270 set was used to defend, before it was finally scrapped.
