  • Ahhhhh, so I can release the barrister from his retainer? That Rumpole cost a shilling and two pence.

    I suppose we were naming the same strip but I used the French "Google map" for the name.


    The two island runways of this coastal strip will probably never, unlike France, be known for the wine.

    • Across the pond and a popular retreat from the masses, though large quantities of the finest vintages were undoubtedly consumed here it is most probable not a bottle was locally produced?

      • Just a wild guess: Nice-Cote d'Azur Airport?

        • Since this is a very Euro based site I tried to be PC and "Euro Centric" and of course blew it.

          I meant across the pond toward me. Sorry.

          But, nothing to whine about right?

          • Your flight plan would probably take you across this bay, named for birds, though not of prey, they are birds of opportunity.

            A near by island was the subject of a ribald classic limerick.

            • The Limerick.....did it involve keeping cash in a bucket ?

              • Never heard that version but your key rhyme scheme with "bucket" is spot on.

                • I think the penny just dropped............

                  There once was a man from Nantucket
                  Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
                  But his daughter, named Nan,
                  Ran away with a man
                  And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
                  So Nantucket Island is nearby.

                  So is Buzzards Bay which I might fly over, Buzzard = a bird of opportunity.

                  Wine is made from grapes in a vineyard.

                  Oh look !......Martha's Vineyard, where the US president spends a lot of time relaxing. 2 runways on an island.

                  So....Martha's Vineyard Airport is my answer.

                      • In this case William is rather short ?

                        • Short version of William. What you get at the end of a restaurant meal..., and, German.

                          ...but the airport is not in Germany.

                              • First part with Bill is right. Now you need the second part.

                                And.........German ?
