I have to confess to being a bit of a UFO enthusiast, so I know a little about these chaps and other pranksters like them.

My question which will no doubt be rather short lived.

What was the only British aircraft to be lost to hostile action during the cold war?

This is where our GCSE biology lessons come into play

I think we were told that the fish that produces the most eggs was the mola , which releases around 300 million

Mola (Sunfish) is correct.

http://oceansunfish.org/lifehistory.php "Early Life" tab

Molas produce an impressive number of eggs. A 1.4m (4.5 ft) female was estimated to be carrying 300 million eggs in her single ovary. (Larger Mola mola would most likely carry even more.) 300 million is several orders of magnitude greater than most other fishes and to date remains the largest number of eggs ever recorded in a single vertebrate at any one time (Carwardine, 1995).
