Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Not sure if the quiet is because everyone is enjoying the sun or more clues are needed.

Work, work and more bloody work! Busiest August I can remember! Good though, in a way, and one mustn't grumble I suppose...

But it means I gaze at the current question if an interlude for browsing presents itself, and apply the three or four brain cells remaining available, and rarely if ever get so much as a bijou inkling-ette.

Ho hum, it's fun anyway.

Ignorance is bliss!

Peter, Paul but not Mary

I'm guessing that this has nothing to do with the Puff the Magic Dragon trio?

Peter Paul Nash has written a work for male chorus and speaker called Earthquake, but I wouldn't imagine any aircrafts being called this!

somewhere to take the water

a spa ? Buxton, Evian, Malvern etc. ?

[Resurrection Man]

a spa ? Buxton, Evian, Malvern etc. ?

Yes. Malvern.

Re Peter Paul but not Mary...more ecclesiastical than hallucinatory substances!

I guess Peter & Paul would take me to Elgar's Apostles, on at the proms shortly
was the Introduction & Allegro inspired by the Malvern Hills or am I just thinking of that Monitor film ?

on second thoughts Elgar's Apostles has St Peter and Mary but (?) not St Paul (?)
EDIT EDIT - St Paul wasn't an Apostle

Vision of aeroplanes was RVW not EE. However I googled Elgar's Solar Aeroplane - not that it has any bearing on the answer.

i think I may have gone up a blind alley with Elgar

[Resurrection Man]

i think I may have gone up a blind alley with Elgar

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Isn't there an aircraft called Nimrod?

[mercia]

[mercia]

[Resurrection Man]

I hope I'm not expected to set a question after all those faux pas I made
and I set the D question

Oh, poor Cali!!! I've been away since Friday, in an idyllic cottage, no internet (blissful) and glued to the Games in front of a log fire ....... Heaven!!

Too many pages for me to read through on my return but I hope you've all been having fun and more importantly, getting your daily five a day portions of coleslaw?
