Sir Roger Casement was executed in 1916 at Pentonville. In 1966 his "remains" were disenterred from the prison and flown back to Dublin. As he was buried in the prison(unconsecrated ground) no one knew where he was buried. The Irish government realised this and settled for 20 pounds of bones.
Yes and that is fact, a bloke who was an officer at Pentonville at the time told me that.
Ive seen the swallows in action at Leuchars when they had Magisters, a nice display. Mind you IMHO only the Irish would buy an aircraft that was slower than its predecessor and without ejection seats!

Thanks Canberra, history never was my thing. And as I went to school in London, Irish history
wasn't on the curriculum at my secondary school. Not a bad guess though, just three years out!.
Nice one about the bones. Typical Irish goverment solution.
Now back to the QUIZ.
