Yes Mick, ripping up half the picture didn't quite fool google image search!



Looks like a P38 Lightning

And half of a P38 would be an H19!

Google image search has a lot to answer for!

Indeed it would, but it was only the 19 I was after!!(I did say it was tongue in cheek!)

[NewcastleFalcon]

When does

P38 ÷ 2=CHK

and the plane spotters:

Would they, by any chance, be flying a route from London to Dover ?

Presumably you mean before the motorway was built?

If I was to opt for M20 as a reference, things are a bit different.
6 roads in different countries are known as the M20
One nuclear missile (French SLBM)
One Chinese ballistic missile
A pistol, a bazooka, a rocket, and a rifle
A BMW engine
Two different computers - one Italian, one Russian
Two different smartphones
....and a nebula.... the Trifid nebula.... somewhere out in space
