Well, I have seen two Corsairs.
a Vought Corsair F4U7 in San Diego air and space museum.
and a Goodyear FG1D Corsair in Seattle museum of flight.
But not a Brewster made Corsair, so real life was not helpful for the quiz. Still an amazing aircraft.

Rubbish!
1973 Hemel Pavillion.
Top sitar player sat on a rug & played a tune of deep mystery. Audience dwindled past midnight. Musician closed his eyes and played on gently, entering a trance. He woke at sunrise to a single listener.
