what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Has that ever been answered? I suddenly need to know but don't want to get sidetracked by Google. I never stop with just one search

What, African or European?
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Now I'm going to have to research this.
Update: Holy shit, I found an article where they calculate it. 😆

@LordShadowfire I found the article too, but read it before answering. 😅
@Bexsy perhaps!

Despite the incredible improbability of the scenario, it would theoretically be possible for several large European swallows or a pair of mosque swallows to somehow come across a tiny coconut and carry it to the destination where King Arthur would have found it.
