    Bingo!
    I knew it was a giveaway but I couldn't come up with something else that's related to the 1st of January as Operation Bodenplatte took place on New Year's Day 1944.

    Cheers Uufflakke

    Another fairly easy one:-

    Only one of the RAF's WWII four-engined bombers started out on the drawing-board with four engines. Which one?


    Just a quick word of appreciation to Dance here - I've followed this thread avidly and only my erratic posting schedules stopped me from regular participation. Well done old chap - I've learned a lot here.

    I will close this thread and continue it under PART_TWELVE as soon as LF's question is answered correctly.
