Is 82. 'Piper Cub' and, if so, how do a singer and a river come into it? Similarly 'stormy petrel' came immediately to mind for 25 but Force 3 on the Beaufort Scale is only a breeze and a petrel doesn't seem to be one of the falcon family. Should I try again; if so being pointed in a particular direction would be appreciated.

Force three on the Beaufort scale is actuall a GENTLE breeze; sorry I;ve not got 82 so can't clarify

82 think band aid and Scotland !

Thanks for the clue maizie, yet another one you struggle with thats dead obvious when somebody gives you a nudge in the right direction

[mazie]

always the same, isn't it paddywak :o)

have you got many to do?

[paddywak]

I've only got four left to do, but I've some I'm not 100% about, still lots of time yet

I finished mine this lunchtime with a little help from a friend. Never done this quiz before and dont normally post them off. Think I will this time

Thanks for help.I've been doing the Rainbow quiz for over 10 years now but I'm still surprised how when one finally gets the answer to a question that's stumped one for months, it then seems so blatantly obvious!

[paddywak]

What's worse is when your partner/sister or friend picks up the quiz and gets the one thats been bugging you for days at first glance

Just a nagging doubt re answer to 98 that I've had for a while now as when I was trawling through lists of hints I came across one which suggested it was the name of an opera. My answer is a fighter jet but relates to a musical by A. Lloyd Webber set in Paris. Confirmation (or alternative hint) would be welcome as I'm confident about the other 99.

[paddywak]

re 98 I've gone for the same one that you have (I think) don't forget that the Lloyd Weber musical was based on a book writen in 1909 and there have been several films and plays of the same name over the years
