An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room

Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

The preceding half dozen posts have been fun to read, but how about getting back on topic?
Who has the next question?
or has the last one been fully answered?

I haven't seen anything like the answer yet, do you wish to give up?

Here is another clue, think of what British army had to fight with in the early days of June 1940? (think dads army)

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

During the pause Churchill muttered something to Atlee who was seated next to him, which is quite amusing. What did he say?

"and we shall hit them over the head with beer bottles, because that's bloody all we've got."

Well done Redcoat, your turn

actually I have 'and we'll fight them with the butt end of broken beer bottles because that's bloody well all we've got'

(perhaps England soccer fans could use him as a patron! bit unfair, they have been relatively well behaved so far)

Ok, what aircraft was the first to sink a submarine, without help from other sources?

Redcoat what do you mean other sources?

I assume you are refering to WW2!

Something of a guess since I have only looked at U boats

I meant that it wasn't aided in the sinking by supporting ASW escort ships

You are correct.
It was a Bristol Blenheim of 82 Squadron Bomber Command which sank U-31 when it surprised her on the surface. The U-boat sank with all hands, but later the Germans raised her from the sea-bed and re-commissioned her, only for her to be sunk again by HMS Antelope in Nov 40
