 * ...when Lilian Bland built an aircraft in 1910, she used her aunt's ear-trumpet and a whisky bottle to feed petrol to the engine?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg article was all fine as to date/length/quality, etc. Hook checks out. I fixed the hook, though whiskey is misspelled, but that might be a British spelling thing. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The spelling is as source, although I'm not sure if strictly correct: UK usage is "whisky" for Scotch & "Whiskey" for Irish & the aircraft was built in Northern IrelandTheLongTone (talk) 10:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
