Who / What / Where Game

[Buddahaid]

It is a flying boat but not a Dornier.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it American?

[Buddahaid]

Yes.

[Aktungbby]

Military or civilian?

[Buddahaid]

Civilian.

[Aktungbby]

Douglas variant?

[Buddahaid]

No, not any Douglas.

[Jimbuna]

NC 41882, 'Exeter'?

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Grumman G-73 Mallard?

[Buddahaid]

No to both.

[Jimbuna]

Is it a Boeing?

[Buddahaid]

Good guess but no. Off to work a bit late so I'll check in in about an hour.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it made by Consolidated, Grumman, Martian, or Sikorsky?

[Jimbuna]

Consolidated PB2Y Coronado?

[Buddahaid]

None of the above including Martians.

[Jimbuna]

What era or decade?

[Buddahaid]

Built in 1929 and this one is still around.

[Eichhörnchen]

Was this a one-off, or did it go into production?

[Buddahaid]

I don't have the production number but two still exist.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it the Bellanca Pacemaker?
http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj529/zacharybaty/Bellanca_Pacemaker_zps7c6dc125.jpg

[Buddahaid]

Not Bellanca.

[Oberon]

Has one of the remaining survivors appeared in a movie?

[Rockstar]

ford tri-motor?

[Buddahaid]

I don't know. Neither are airworthy and are museum pieces.

[Buddahaid]

Not Ford. This is a civilian craft but that doesn't mean the company didn't make military craft.

[Oberon]

I don't know. Neither are airworthy and are museum pieces.

What about a replica? :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

I don't know. What movie?

Yeah that had me in a dither too so I just focused on the relationship of the side window to the wingroot!

(@ Oberon: please can you describe for me how one goes about hiding one's URLs?)

[Oberon]

http://www.cardinalfang.net/episodes/season_two/images/how_not_to_be_seen.jpg

Well, you do like I showed you, upload it to imgur and don't directly link to the object in hand. For example, if you right-click on Aktungs picture you'll see that it says:

http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/exhibits/revwar/image_gal/morrimg/web_exhibit/FergusonMusketl_MORR2375.jpg

Which even if it didn't have the name in the URL, it means you can easily just put the URL into google-image search, find the website that it's from and find the caption from that website. :salute:

However, if you download the picture, crop it, rename it something like 'whatisthis.jpg' and then upload it to imgur and post it on here, then when I go to right click on it, for example, right clicking on my picture gives me:

http://i.imgur.com/r74eHMR.jpg

And if I put that into a google image search, the only thing I'll get is the image I've posted, that and it'll look at the image and give me a load of car engine pictures too. :haha:

[Buddahaid]

A German designed toothbrush? :hmmm:

[Catfish]

^ Nah, german toothbrushs are much more complicated.

I take it is a rather simple submarine gizmo instead :D


Ok, it seems to have to do something with the distribution of pressured gas, or hydraulic fluid. Submarine ? Plane ?



P.S. Regarding the plane in the quest before, this spar completely confused me. I first thought of a seaplane, but then i thought it was some kind of strange ekranoplan with a giant propellor in front of it, and the spar supporting the impeller ring or something like that. :dead:
Thanks Eichhoernchen for posting.

[Oberon]

Nope, not from a tank or from the Red October

JEEZE that is so sneaky!:03: "gentlemen" do not read each other's URLS:woot: Is your gizmo from an aircraft or a Cummins diesel engine?

Yeah, I think Herr B is on the mark there, but just in case, I'm going to go AGM-86B.

I am sure this special device is made by Corgi :03: (hint, hint!)

Oh bugger me...I think I've just realised something...

Odd duck that one.

Herr Berbunch and Viper are up to something.. but no mock-up, and not for a film.

[Betonov]

Zeppelin engine housing ??

[Catfish]

Some more "help". This is the rear part:

https://app.box.com/s/ei24glxalkc507bti17u

[Catfish]

Zeppelin engine housing ??

No Zeppelin involved :03:

[Eichhörnchen]

So is it a "gondola" structure?

[Jimbuna]

A German blimp prototype?

[Catfish]

It is a gondola structure, which is also the engine housing.
Not belonging to a Zeppelin or rigid airship, but a blimp.
(i mean it belongs to a Blimp, yes)
Not german.




P.S. can someone tell me how the english meaning is, when you write:
".. anything but ..." Does this mean "it is anything, but not ... that", or does it mean it is "anything, AND ... that" or "anything and especially ...that"

I tended to the first meaning, but i have read so much sentences where this meaning was obviously wrong :06:

[Jimbuna]

USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) formerly LZ 126?

[VipertheSniper]

USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) formerly LZ 126?

That's not a blimp is it? It is also a Zeppelin, so the complete opposite of what he's looking for...

I'm thinking more along the lines of a British SSZ-Class airship, although I couldn't find one with such a gondola.

[Catfish]

It is not a rigid airship, so no Zeppelin, also not a "Reparationsluftschiff" (ZR).

[Jimbuna]

Year of build?

[Catfish]

Year of build?

Wouldn't this be too easy then ? :hmmm:

Ok.. as far as i know 1916.

[Jimbuna]

Not really, I can only source Zeppelins.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Hm, would it be the Chalais-Meudon “T-2"?

[Aktungbby]

Capitaine Caussin.?

[Buddahaid]

I got it!
http://blog.skimkim.com/wp-content/upload/oscarmayerwienermobile.jpg

[Catfish]

Chalais-Meudon is right, but not the T2 - the T2 is the Caussin I think. Not at home now , will Report later..

[Eichhörnchen]

I got it!

:har: Brilliant, Budda!:har:

[Jimbuna]

Chalais-Meudon Type T?

[Catfish]

Ok it is over to Neuerburg :up:.

Aktungbby was also right with the "Capitaine Caussin", because this was the name given to the "T2", militarily number "T14" and sold to the US Navy in 1918, but Neuerburg was first.

On the photo is indeed the Chalais-Meudon "T1" not the "T2", but i think it is close enough. The "T1" was built in 1916 and stationed in Bizerta, most probably the first airship to have a fully streamlined Duraluminium gondola .
And my info was wrong, the "T1" was not sold to the US, but exploded in the air at may 12th, 1916, somewhere near Sardinia in the Mediterranean sea.
So from the info i gave, Neuerburg and Aktungbby are right.
The name of the commander Capitaine Caussin was honourably given to the "T2", after he had died in the explosion of the "T1".
The slightly modified "T2" was then sold in 1918, to the US Navy.


The Chalais-Meudon airships were so-called blimps, having a pumped-up bag instead of a rigid skeletons like the Zeppelins, or british R-type airships.
The bag was filled with hydrogen and one or two inner air-filled ballonnetts to keep the bag in shape during ascending and descending. The funnel to the ballonnetts can be seen, above the gondola. The ballonnetts were kept blown up by the engines constantly, and a failure of the engine and thus blower would let the bag collapse, the main problem with Blimps b.t.w..
They were used for ship escorts, and for submarine-hunting.

The "T1":
83 meters long, diameter 10,9 m, volume 5'600 cbm, driven by two Salmson - Canton-Unnée watercooled radial engines wiith 150 hp each, speed appx. 100 km/h

The "T2" "Capitaine Caussin":
83 meters long, diameter 13,8m, volume 9'118 cbm, driven by two Salmson - Canton-Unnée watercooled radial engines with 150 hp first, and 180 hp later, speed first 87 km/h, later 94 km/h

It's amazing what you can find on Google, although when I went to search for "ww1 blimps" you'd be amazed how many pictures there where of not blimps but of Zeppelins!:doh: (A blimp is not a rigid airship.) Alright, well I'll continue the theme of aviation we've got going here so what is this from?

In the picture search for the previous one it showed up sometimes (god knows why), I can certainly remember it, I guess so have others.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Eh, maybe I'll find something better next time. I suspect that it showed up in the search for the T2 because the Payen is French. And you're up Jim.

float, not a boat plane if you know the difference I mean? But I'll say Albatros for first guess.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

float, not a boat plane if you know the difference I mean? But I'll say Albatros for first guess. I take it that a boat plane has a boat shaped fuselage where as a float plane uses floats to keep the whole plane above water.

And no it isn't an Albatross.

[Buddahaid]

The difference is described as a seaplane with a boat hull bottomed fuselage, or a float plane that replaces a wheeled undercarriage with floats.

Looks like a pusher config. Military type?

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Looks like a pusher config. Military type? It was a military aircraft (although it never saw combat), and it does not have a pusher engine. Now then if you'll excuse me I've got half a bottle of Newcastle Brown to finish. HAPPY NEW YEARS!:woot:

[Buddahaid]

Lightweight....:O:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Lightweight....:O: Well I did drink the first half before hand, besides I didn't have any whiskey or rum around this time (forget champagne).:D

US Navy Curtiss? Nope, but getting closer.

[Jimbuna]

So it is American?

Curtiss Model T

If not, is it one of the model tri wing planes that weren't used in combat?

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Curtiss Model T

If not, is it one of the model tri wing planes that weren't used in combat? Negative to both.

[Armistead]

Curtiss R-9 seaplane bomber?

If not, should we stop looking at Curtiss. Simply is it a Curtiss plane?

[Jimbuna]

Aeromarine 700?

Afraid not....that glass/perspex or whatever looks too clean.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is it a sporting venue though?

[Jimbuna]

Nope.

[Armistead]

would it be the top floor structures to some high rise...?

[Jimbuna]

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

In Britain? :hmmm:

Nope and it is of a unique design, I visited it on a school trip abroad many years ago.

[Aktungbby]

an observatory or airport tower control?

[Jimbuna]

Neither but the view from the top of the structure gives a panoramic view of a certain city.

[u crank]

.....panoramic view of a certain city.

Hmm.... a clue perhaps. :D

[Jimbuna]

Hmm.... a clue perhaps. :D

A city in Europe.

[Jimbuna]

Atomium in Brussels ? :hmmm:

Yep, in one. A most interesting building I once visited, the tubes connecting the spheres actually contain escalators within them.

The Atomium is a building in Brussels originally constructed for Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak,[1] it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (59 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

Tubes connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose escalators and a lift to allow access to the five habitable spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere provides a panoramic view of Brussels. CNN named it Europe's most bizarre building.

Here is something that would not fall among real estate or immovable property..
(however certain french cars would certainly fit that description, at least one of the Citroen CXes i owned :03:)

A giant seaplane from the 1930ies, built from 1938 to 42 (interrupted by some less sympathetic interaction between France and Germany (caused by the latter) and thus making its maiden flight only later in 1942. It was confiscated and flown to Lake Constance, where it was later destroyed by british Mosquitoes (how could you?) hrrm :03:

The picture immediately reminded me of other flying boat flight deck pictures I've seen in the past and your French reference made the search a little easier.

No but your not too far off.

[Aktungbby]

building or monument?

[Jimbuna]

Excellent question and TBH one I had to look up the meaning of to give an honest/accurate, so broadly speaking it is a building.

[Aktungbby]

is it in Germany or Berlin?

[Jimbuna]

No but it is in the capital city of another european country.

[Aktungbby]

A country east of Belgium and France.

Other players? Could be for many a reason....loss of interest, too hard a subject matter, awaiting others to garner clues before pouncing, dislike for the OP, too busy spamming elsewhere?

Who knows, who cares?

People stop posting and the thread will soon sink below those of more importance to others.
