Wow. Was not expecting bronze this time!

Had never heard of Charles Lindberg but knew Amelia had done it so that was a guess.

Well done everyone, and great questions @Mi-Amigo

Good quiz @Mi-Amigo. I was lucky with the Flames, my friends son was part of the team (admin) back in the day. I've also seen them play v Coventry Blaze. 😉

I logged on today to specially check my score in this WRQ and I'm absolutely over the moon.... My first ever Bronze Thinker 😃 And I have my GSCE's to thank! 😅 Thank @Mi-Amigo for your generous scoring because a couple of my looser guesses were accepted, not that I'm not complaining, in fact I'm beaming right now! 👍

Great quiz Mi-Amigo, thanks for putting it together and well done to everyone else too, some pretty good scores out there plus no lower than 3 which is cool. I'm off to enjoy the weekend and tell everyone about my WRQ score, hehe. 👋
