2 pilot

[mallyh]

2 theres a group called medal?

[fiction-factory]

I'm not clear how you get pilot from George.
No group called cross. Was George a Saxon?

Isn't George the auto plot in a plane?

[fiction-factory]

Okay. Didn't know that about auto pilot. King George was a Saxon though. There are possibly other plausible answers. It is whatever the setter had in mind

[fiction-factory]

I may be wrong - he was a saxonite. May not be the same as saxon

[aelmpvw]

have Saxon had a no 1 hit?, can't find one

[fiction-factory]

No, am just browsing on the beach and didn't see the full title of the quiz. Not Saxon then. Nor Queen unless the setter knows something I don't about Prince George.

[Mamyalynne]

I like Pilot as an answer.

[Arksided]

I don't know the quiz but think you're bang on the money with Pilot, Ael.

[fiction-factory]

I thought I'd acknowledged Pilot as a plausible answer at 18:18 but am happy to reiterate it and confirm I have no better answer.

[Mamyalynne]

Simply an observation, the thread came into LP.

[Arksided]

I think that Saxon were a good guess FF. I certainly knew that it wasn't Queen and George being the autopilot of a plane does seem right to me.

... and another famous George, although I can't recall them having a no.1 single:
