    You stumbled in to it. They are all UK bicycle manufacturers. There was a Raleigh Falcon but Falcon are also a distinct, and unconnected, manufacturer.

    Your question.

    Similar, yet not quite the same. But both incorrect. ;)

    Tanks? Some sort of military vehicle? Missile?

    Or all are Australian versions of something?

    It's been guessed, folks, it's UK bike manufacturers.

    More correctly New Guinea, but I'll take it. The island is said to have the shape of a bird of paradise, and the two peninsulas are at either end.

    Sorry for delay. I was away.

    No, it is not in France but given that the weekend is upon us, it is a nice bright evening, I'm not of the legal profession and following the generosity shown to me in my previous answer, I will not be pedantic and so will accept the intent of your reply.

    Llivia is in a part of Catalonia that is surrounded by French territory; so all yours.

    And claims to have the oldest pharmacy in Europe. But so does Dubrovnik and others probably including Paddy Murphy in Belmullet.

    I believe life was interesting in Llivia during the Spanish Civil War. I've forgotten the details but I think republicans were safe there as the fascist forces couldn't cross French territory.

    There was more than one missing so I'll make the answer shorter.

    Add Shirley, Deborah, Julie, and Jane . Now there's only one missing - I think.
