Q15 (worth 4 points) This is one time only we’ll never have a 4 point question in the competition again so ready? Name at least 2 areas within the Soviet Union where the SS18 missile fields were located.

A. Zhangiz-Tobe, Semipalatinsk Oblast and Derzhavinsk, Turgay Oblast. Both within Kazakhstan.

(Man, there's not much info out about these big boys!)

Edited to correct question number

Just bought 3 Lancaster with Tallboys to sink it. Not GHQ unfortunately.

You wouldn't crack ribs if you didn't use a 5-gallon jerry can for a tankard, my Friend (speaking from experience).
