History Channel competition: is that fair?

6 February 2006 Rob Buckley Events, UK TV Post a comment

Am I missing something in this week’s History Channel competition?

“What do the latters (sic) VTOL stand for?

  1. Vertical Takeoff and Landing Airliner
  2. Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aeroplane
  3. Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft”

Where did the A words all come from?
