Good luck and good time of the day!

Quite easy I think.

Water.

[u crank]

White part sails?

[Jimbuna]

White part sails?

Nope, not that close to water.

[swamprat69er]

The white part is part of a parachute?

[Jimbuna]

The white part is part of a parachute?

Afraid not...more perma fixed to the ground.

[swamprat69er]

White cliffs of Dover?

[Jimbuna]

White cliffs of Dover?

In a far sunnier climate than the UK.

[u crank]

Are you in this photo? :D

[Catfish]

Don't say it's Gibraltar ?

[Jimbuna]

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Yep, I somehow knew you would sneak under the door after the others had eliminated the possibilities :)

http://s15.postimg.org/doa3jl0ff/image.jpg (http://postimage.org/)

Over to you ya bugga :03:

[Oberon]

I looked at it earlier and didn't see it, then for some reason when I looked at it this time it just hit me. :haha:

Anyway...

Where's this?

http://i.imgur.com/ug4ddCi.jpg?1

[Aktungbby]

Egypt!

[u crank]

I'll try an obvious one. Egypt.

Dang it.

[Jimbuna]

Abu Simbel?

[Oberon]

I'll try an obvious one. Egypt.

Dang it.

Abu Simbel?

Nope to all of them.

[Jimbuna]

Is it a shrine or a tomb?

[u crank]

Is it in a museum?

[Aktungbby]

Raceland, Louisiana Where he's TuttankHAMMun- now that's serious MA'AT BBY!:O:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/CheramesKingTutSaloonRaceland.jpg/1280px-CheramesKingTutSaloonRaceland.jpg

[Oberon]

Nope

Nope

Raceland, Louisiana Where he's TuttankHAMMun- now that's serious MA'AT BBY!:O:

Err...nope... :doh:

[Jimbuna]

A memorial?

[Armistead]

Is it built into building?

Is it King Tut?

As to where, University of Chicago....

[Oberon]

A memorial?

Nope

Is it built into building?

Nope

Is it King Tut?

Nope

As to where, University of Chicago....

Nope


First clue: It was made in the early 1850s.

[Jimbuna]

London?

[Oberon]

London?

Yes

[Aktungbby]

Part of a Gatley bas- relief?

[Eichhörnchen]

So if it's not a memorial, is it a Victorian municipal monument?

[Oberon]

Part of a Gatley bas- relief?

Nope

So if it's not a memorial, is it a Victorian municipal monument?

In a way, yes.


Second clue: It was cast from an original, found in 1825 and estimated to have been made, at the earliest, c.2600BC.

[Jimbuna]

The Great Sphinx of Tanis Crystal Palace?

[Eichhörnchen]

I suspected all along it might turn out to be at the least some sort of Victorian plagiarism, on a waterworks or something. But if it's not part of the fabric of a building, searching for municipal monuments has got me nowhere so far.

Does it bear any kind of plaque or inscription?

Okay, this has nothing to do with the earlier reference to something odd.

Who is this?

[Catfish]

Hmm, Sean Connery ?

(If it's from 'Zardoz', it IS odd :03: )

[Oberon]

I think it's one of our members, probably from the US Subsim meet, not sure of the chaps name though.

[Jimbuna]

Well, didn't you see the Daily Fail today?

It's times like this I realise just how much is stored on Imageshack when I go to the old meet threads and find tons of "explore the new Imageshack" pictures. :/\\!!

By his own admission...hardly but he is quite a likeable rogue/character by my estimation.

[Oberon]

Niki?

[Jimbuna]

Nope but correct nationality and gender.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Looks like [R----] to me. :smug:

And that's purely through seeing the pic of Three-bottle-Jim so many times in the last four years.

Edit - I've just realised I won't be by a PC until late Sunday so pointless me taking this and making you all wait so I've edited it. Should make it slightly easier now though, especially for the old guard.

[Armistead]

Reese as a guess, a friend on your list....

[Herr-Berbunch]

Reese wasn't at that Subsim meet. Quite old (no offense), had his wife there... Long time member but not here so often nowadays.

[Armistead]

I see another possible guess on his friendslist if someone wants to try it ...

[swamprat69er]

It's public on his profile, nothing to root through....now get back to your wire brush.....

[Jimbuna]

Can't be too far away now, especially with the given clues.

This photo is not of the 'three bottle Jim' variety but was taken on Neals front lawn and the person in question had a pistol 'on view' (but not easily seen on the photo) which as far as I know is not allowed in Texas.

[Aktungbby]

was it from the BBQ in Neal's front yard? http://s14.postimg.org/8fwc3fw0x/Subsim2008_072.jpg (http://postimage.org/)

Rafael on your friendslist. I think it a reasonable and educated guess....:smug:

I believe the guy's name is Rebel. :D

[Eichhörnchen]

[u crank]

Not a prison.

Not Italian.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Then we'll do it this way - is it European? :hmmm:

[u crank]

No.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Not European, and I'm guessing not from the Arctic or Antarctic.

South American?

Hey, you laugh, we'll get there in the end.

[Armistead]

I should say that this was a colour photo which I've rendered into black & white for purposes of deception. On reflection I ask that someone please let me know if this infringes the rules and I'll put up something else in its place...

[Buddahaid]

The Beatles Yellow Submarine?

So, like, I thought making it not-yellow was going to fool anyone!! Well-done, Budda and it's yours now...

Surprisingly, no.

[Jimbuna]

VTLM Lince?

Nope, the Italians don't have any as far as I'm aware (also checked on Wiki).

[Oberon]

:hmmm:

Did it begin production this side of 2000?

[Jimbuna]

:hmmm:

Nope and is still in production today but not used by the country that the production company is headquartered in.

[Oberon]

Pinzgauer 710M?

[Jimbuna]

Pinzgauer 710M?

Nope, my piece of kit isn't used by any of these countries:

Argentina
Austria
Bolivia
Cyprus
Saudi Arabia
Serbia
Lithuania
Malaysia
Switzerland

[ikalugin]

It isn't like Lithuania uses all that many different types of vehicles.

[Jimbuna]

It isn't like Lithuania uses all that many different types of vehicles.

Well they certainly don't use what I've linked to.....

[Oberon]

Well, that puts me in a befuddle. :hmmm:

Because in that list from the Pinzgauer you've left out New Zealand and the UK, and we know that it has four wheels or less, and isn't used by the country that the production company is headquartered in, and entered production before 2000.

Well, the NZDF isn't that large, it has the NZLAV, the Pinzgauer, the Unimog and the MAN HX.

The NZLAV isn't used by the British, so that rules that out. The Pinzgauer has already been ruled out, the Unimog is no longer used by the British Army, and the MAN SX is a post-2000 vehicle.... :hmmm: :doh:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Jamie I think you may have misread, or I've just misread what you've put. At a guess the list of countries Jim listed homes the manufacturer but not the user of the vehicle.

My money is on Austria/Switzerland, someone like Steyr (vehicle section not the hand held weapons).

Apologies for any misunderstanding but that could well be down to me.

New Zealand should have been left on the list because they do not have this in their inventory.

Another clue: Taiwan Army have them as well.

[Oberon]

Cadillac Gage? :doh:

[Jimbuna]

Cadillac Gage? :doh:

Nope

A bit surprised Ikalugin hasn't thrown his hat into the ring considering he asked for something with a modern military theme.

Further clue: Our lads made use of them during Telic.

[Oberon]

Is it part of the C vehicle fleet? :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Is it part of the C vehicle fleet? :hmmm:

No but your getting warmer....probably kick yersel later.

[Aktungbby]

some sort of Hummvee- 4 wheels used in Taiwan and Singapore

[Jimbuna]

Much bigger than the Humvee.

Further clue: We already know Taiwan and Singapore use it, there are five countries in total, Britain and Germany are two of the remaining five users.

[Aktungbby]

Unimog?

[Jimbuna]

Unimog?

Had to look that one up but no, afraid not and giving the fifth country of use would probably be a dead giveaway, especially considering the photo clue is from there.

[Oberon]

Rgr that :yep:

[Jimbuna]

A flag or a banner?

[Eichhörnchen]

It looks like we're in the Middle East (?)

[Oberon]

A flag or a banner?

The latter, but what is the banner from?

It looks like we're in the Middle East (?)

No Middles about. :03:

[Betonov]

That's cyrillic.

I think it's a Soviet Battle flag since the words (I guess) means bor'be (fight, battle).

[Oberon]

That's cyrillic.

I think it's a Soviet Battle flag since the words (I guess) means bor'be (fight, battle).

Correct language, and the translation is good although in this instance it means 'struggle'. However it's not a battle flag.

[Betonov]

Correct language, and the translation is good although in this instance it means 'struggle'. However it's not a battle flag.

It's a soviet banner about class struggle, but for the love of god, google can't find anything looking like one :/\\!!

[Oberon]

It's a soviet banner about class struggle, but for the love of god, google can't find anything looking like one :/\\!!

That's because there is no god*, comrade, therefore no love. :O:

It's not from the Soviet Union, but it is from Russia and is related to the Soviet Union.

*Unless required by the state, availability subject to the numbers of T-34s, terms and five year plans apply. Please see your local Commissar for details.

[Betonov]

iklaugin should come along soon and nail it.

[Oberon]

Well...as long as he is along before...February... :03:

[Buddahaid]

Well a banner for The February Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd then. Still can't find it though.

:up:

Translated it reads "Workers of all countries unite! In the struggle you will obtain your rights!" and it was one of the banners carried in Petrograd during the February 1917 revolution.

[Aktungbby]

That was too easy! Post another one...my snip tool isn't working and anything I post just gives the source any how.

[Buddahaid]

Sure. What is this part of?

[Aktungbby]

hispano-suiza?

[Buddahaid]

Nope and I'm really looking for the name of what the engine is installed in. At least you didn't spot it right off. :arrgh!:

[Aktungbby]

is it an aircraft or a vehicle?i

[Buddahaid]

Isn't an aircraft a vehicle? Yes, aircraft.

[Aktungbby]

Hirth 6 cyl? in line aircooled

[Buddahaid]

Nope. Try again.

[Herr-Berbunch]

P-40?

[Eichhörnchen]

German?

[Catfish]

From the looks, it could be a 'hanging' inverted V12 engine, maybe a Jumo 210(x) ?

[Jimbuna]

American WWII era?

[Buddahaid]

American WWII era?

Sorry guys I was getting my beauty rest for the upcoming gig teh Bildge is putting on.

Only correct reply yet.

[Catfish]

US? Then I thought it was an Allison I710 or 1710 12 cyl., but the exhausts are a two in one construction ?

[Buddahaid]

It is an Allison and it is US.

[Aktungbby]

The Mustang prior to the Merlin conversion?

[Buddahaid]

Try again.

[Catfish]

What else do you want.
The V-1710 is the only V12 the US built, before and during the war.
Since there cannot be seen any supercharger or exhaust turbines of the latest version, all the rest is guesswork :hmm2:

[Aktungbby]

Try again.

[Buddahaid]

Still not it.

[Aktungbby]

is there a turbo on it?

[Buddahaid]

I don't think so but I'd have to research that.

[Oberon]

US Navy Airship? :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

the Lightning 's were supercharged; the aircobra and kingcobra were not and the IlyushinII-2 also was not. I'll go with the F82 twin-mustang powered by Allison at the end of the war due to the merlin's higher license fees(to Packard) at the close of WWII...http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/523d_FES_North_American_F-82E_Twin_Mustang_Adak_AK.jpg

[Buddahaid]

Getting close.

[Oberon]

A-11? :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

Of course! Another cunning one, Budda... :up:

[Buddahaid]

Bingo.

[Aktungbby]

What is the weapon being loaded? http://cdn.theboxotruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/e70-3.jpg

[ikalugin]

Johnson?

[Aktungbby]

Indeed! You're UP! And used in the Bay of Pigs fiasco http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/1/18/M1941Johnson.jpg/500px-M1941Johnson.jpg (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:M1941Johnson.jpg)http://40.media.tumblr.com/02ca62135481c17d551abc097895890e/tumblr_mleyciGI9A1s57vgxo2_1280.jpg

The US Army tested the Johnson Rifle exhaustively in 1938 at Fort Benning, comparing it's functions with early "Gas trap" M1 rifles. These tests found a few weaknesses to the overall Johnson design but the army was impressed by the concept, inviting Mel. Johnson to re-submit the design for further testing at a later date (see elsewhere on this site). With the failure of the design to win acceptance with the US Army and later the Marine Corps., Johnson successfully sold the rifle, now the M1941, to the Dutch for use in the Far East colonies with their Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch leger (KNIL - The Netherlands East Indies Defence Force) troops who were commanded from the Island of Java, in what is now Indonisia. The rifles and machine guns that were delivered saw extensive use against the Japanese before the Dutch colonies were overrun. The undelivered rifles and machine guns intended for KNIL use were now impounded at Cranston. This large consignment of semi-automatic rifles and selective fire machine guns caught the eye of the USMC and a quantity of each were obtained from the embargoed stocks.http://www.johnsonautomatics.com/marines41lmgjpg.jpg These weapons were used at Bougainville and Anzio too http://www.johnsonautomatics.com/anzio1.jpg

It is not the T50, but the UVKU50U launcher. Close enough though - onto you.

The image was originally leaked on Paralay (forums) with the list of the weapons for it, FSB and Sukhoi were not amused (even though the document is not classified).

[Oberon]

Someone's going to be counting trees in Siberia for that. :haha:

[Buddahaid]

I'm going to jump the gun here as I'm certain I got the last one and the time zone makes putting up the next difficult for me while at work. Hey if I'm wrong just ignore me like the wife does.

What aircraft is this?

Is that the wing-root visible at top left, or is this a low-wing type?

Yes that's a wing root.

No not of that era.

I searched for turboprop intake and there it was. Just lucky.

[Jimbuna]

Civilian?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a glider?

[Buddahaid]

Not a glider and yes civilian.

[Eichhörnchen]

Was it produced by the Airspeed Company?

[Buddahaid]

No not them.

[Eichhörnchen]

British maker anyway?

[Buddahaid]

No not British.

[Stealhead]

German glider late 20's or early 30's.... Never mind not a glider.

Is this by chance a flying boat?

Hmmm Dornier DO X?
