6 Answers
I think I know these two:
2) Which country makes Panama hats? - Ecuador
8) What colour is a purple finch? - gray and rose
Didn't google, and I hope I can answer 3.
In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? September (?)
The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? A bird.
What is the colour of the black box in a commercial airplane? Orange.
Hundred years war: I think that it was either 107 or 117 years, but I am not sure on either.
The October Revolution is celebrated in November (had to do with the use of an older calendar system, I believe)
I think that catgut is (or has been) obtained from the intestine of various animals, but I am pretty sure that none of these actually happens to be a cat. I would imagine probably larger animals such as cows or sheep, though. I wonder do they still even use catgut for stringed instruments?
The Canaries has a similar etymology to that of "canines" and is literally "dog island" or "island of the dog" (of course I have to admit that I probably would not have known this had I not just recently finished reading a book on Ferdinand Magellan which happened to mention this little tidbit).
No idea on the rest, but I'll throw some guesses out there
2) Which country makes Panama hats? United States
5) What is a camel's hair brush made of? ponies
7) What was King George VI's first name? William
8) What colour is a purple finch? blue or red
9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? The Indies or Australia
10) What is the colour of the black box in a commercial airplane? white

2) Which country makes Panama hats? - Australia
3) From which animal do we get cat gut? - squirrel
4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? - Sept.

PS: #4 & #10 answers were mine. I did not copy from deanski
I read somewhere that the black box on airplanes is actually bright orange in order for it to be easily found.
Other than that, you might as well fail me on this test Eddy. I don't even know what "cat gut" is let alone which animal it comes from. 
Best three guesses:
From which animal do we get cat gut? Pig
What is a camel's hair brush made of? Pig hair
What colour is a purple finch? Magenta/pink
