    There was a saying in the 17th century.
    Hell, Hull, and Halifax.
    I wonder if the beer lives up to the saying?
    With apologies to anyone who lives in Hell.

    Rob, that saying reminds me of a line in a Banjo Patterson poem "Hay, Hell & Booligal!"
    With Hay & Booligal being towns way out West on the Hay Planes.

    Sounds as if it has the same derivation as mine Baz.
    Carried by the immigrants no doubt. I don't think is an indigenous population saying.

    As for Yorkshire Relish, Halifax is in Yorkshire and I suppose that you could say relish has a biting flavour.

    Yorkshire of course is also famous for Yorkshire Puddings which can be obtained in the freezer section of our local Woolworths supermarket!

    Thank you, Barry. It was showing when I posted it but I think that I have fixed it so that it can be seen.

    Woolworths went out of business several years ago here in the United Kingdom.

    The Waterbird, created by Edward Wakefield was one of the first seaplanes to take off from water. It took off from Lake Windermere in the British Lake District in November 1911. It was only through support from Winston Churchill that Edward Wakefield was able to complete his project. Fans are working on recreating the Waterbird and are planning to make tourist flights with it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-minister.html

    Thank you for the news about the Black Widow, which is being restored, and the great photographs, Bob.

    Still on the night fighter theme, here is a beer commemorating the British night fighter ace John "Cat's Eyes" Cunningham. He was called "Cat's Eyes" because the British Press claimed that he had exceptional night vision, to conceal the fact that he had an airborne radar set mounted in his plane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C..._(RAF_officer)

    It is not an old beer, rather the pump clip shown was based on an old cigarette card.

    Douglas (Wrong Way) Corrigan was an American Aviator of Irish decent. His dream was to fly to Ireland. That dream was denied when his transatlantic flight was turned down. He then registered a flight plan from New York to California which was approved. Shortly after take off he made a wrong turn and flew all the way to, you guessed it, Ireland. He claimed his mistake was due to poor weather conditions. You be the judge. So this beer is in honour of a hapless pilot or a very cunning aviator who lived his dream.

    Here is another drink honouring an American aviator of Irish descent. This beer was named after Michael Dugan who was an American of Irish decent that joined the war before America did. He went and joined France and learned to fly with the Lafayette Escadrille Squadron. A Squadron made up of all Americans that fought for Freedom very early in WW1.

    This vanilla porter honours 1st LT Harley Pope. He crashed and died at the Cape Fear River in Jan 1919 while on a mapping expedition in a Curtiss Jenny. Later that year, the Army Air Corps renamed the air field at Fort Bragg to Pope Air Field, now it is known as Pope Air Force Base.
