Thank you @pgn @MI5 @Cleoriff @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - there were some tough questions this time.

[Comben]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, certainly some tougher ones this time, but you were generous on the scoring again which helped me out, so cheers. 👍🏻 

Great knowledge about the Challenger @Cleoriff you certainly know a lot, just a shame the commanders name escaped you. Hopefully next time the question will be about the name of a teacher on board. 😂
