Well, being in Germany and my last visit to England being so long ago, i would have never guessed that :haha:

I don't know how you got onto that so quick, you bugger: you must be a bit of an expert boozer. Over to you:D

It looked like a Beer type handle so I googled it to see if I was right. :oops:

This is a piece of something bigger, what is it a part of.

@Mr.Squirrel: Female, yes.

@Catfish: Not Sharon Stone.

[Dowly]

Has she/have they been in the "Women that you think are beautiful" thread?
Very likely.

[Eichhörnchen]

I can't say as I recognise them; are they American?

[Dowly]

I can't say as I recognise them; are they American?
Not American born.

[Eichhörnchen]

Were they Welsh at one time then (I'm thinking Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglas, or whatever she's called now)?

[Dowly]

You need to stay better abreast of current major stars Hómbre!:O:

[Moonlight]

You've never heard of Salma Hayek Mr Squirrel, have you been living under a rock?:haha:

He looks like a 19th century gentleman, is he a scientific type person.

[Eichhörnchen]

Looks rather like composer Ralph Vaughan Williams

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWwBh0dzgi4

[Betonov]

Not a musisican or composer, not a gentleman also. He started in the dirt.

[Buddahaid]

A newspaper publisher then.

[Betonov]

No. He has humble begginings and he became wealthy with a single but very important invention.

The time period is correct. He lived in the 19th century

John Deere.

http://i.imgur.com/yH3Yhr2.gif

Correct :up:

[Eichhörnchen]

Believe it or not, guessing it would be something to do with agriculture from Betonov, I looked up images for John Deere and all I got were the tractors... should've looked further down the page I guess:/\\!!

[Aktungbby]

I also looked at the agriculture stuff but completely missed John Deere. :damn: Oddly, he solved the commonest problem of the farmer; a plow that would readily shed the soil it was tilling. A cast iron plow, itself a remarkable invention, wouldn't cut it on thick prairie sod; a steel one would. Deere came to the conclusion that a plow made out of highly polished steel and a correctly shaped moldboard (the self-scouring steel plow) would be better able to handle the soil conditions of the prairie, especially its sticky clay. Abraham Lincoln, raised and indentured on hardscrabble farms in his youth, used the common expression for the problem after reading his short speech at Gettysburg to commemorate the battlefield. On the platform after the 1863 speech, Lincoln allegedly remarked to his secretary Ward Hill Lamon, "Lamon, that speech won't scour ! (as with a plow) It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed." Lincoln had signed into being the first Homestead Act of 1862, Anyone who had never taken up arms against the U.S. government (including freed slaves and women), was 21 years or older, or the head of a family, could file an application to claim a federal land grant. There was also a residency requirement...tree planting was encouraged!?? That plow would be a lifesaver in North Dakota: cutting the sod for many a 'soddie' before unrelenting winter set in. The act and the plow would 'scour' the plains of native Americans! Norwegian 'preppers' ND 1898> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Hultstrand61.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Dugout_home2.jpg/220px-Dugout_home2.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dugout_home2.jpg) Betonov would have fit right in! This whole 'dugout' style house looks like a Dakota fire pit:D

[Betonov]

His most important invention was a polished steel plow on which the prerie clay soul did not stick, unlike it's predecessor the cast iron plow.

And as I come to notice half the worlds soil is clay.
And I believe that was his only invention and he marketed it succesefully.

My next hint would have been: check the ''forum regulars bios...'' thread :03:

[u crank]

How it's done. Google search 'paintings' of American inventors. Fifth line down. :D

I just got home so gimme a minute.

[Betonov]

I solved Dowly by googling ''white dress cleavage'' and comparing dresses.

Aktung was so close, I wonder why he never went for the kill :hmmm:

Prussian, key person in rise of Germany, revered by Hitler...

[Eichhörnchen]

What is so maddening is that I know that face, but the only figures I can recall who were admired by AH were Frederick the great, Nietzsche and Wagner, and I know that it's none of these.

[Betonov]

Hitler loved mentioning him when describing the Wehrmacht

I knew I'd seen him in William Manchester's The Arms of Krupp Founder Alfred Krupp Indeed, unable to sell his steel cannon, Krupp gave it to the King of Prussia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_IV_of_Prussia), who used it as a decorative piece. The king's brother Wilhelm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_I,_German_Emperor), however, realized the significance of the innovation. After he became regent in 1859, Prussia bought its first 312 steel cannon from Krupp, which became the main arms manufacturer for the Prussian military.

[Buddahaid]

Could it be Alfred Graf von Schlieffen?

[Betonov]

He died before WW1

[Buddahaid]

My candidate still fits.

[Betonov]

Could it be Alfred Graf von Schlieffen?

No.

He was not a military man but his work was closely tied with the army

[Moonlight]

Was this plane designed for air\ground combat?

[Buddahaid]

Good morning all. Not German and not designed specifically for ground attack but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been used in that role.

Designed to be a fighter when developed.

[Aktungbby]

I see your getting warm. Yes two propellers.

[Aktungbby]

british?

This Flying Pancake must have been quite a good plane, from evading wing tip vortices to stall characteristics .. only idea why it was not produced might be the speed ?

[Buddahaid]

They're there and also a transfer case shifter. Cut out door makes me think it's not armored but I'm having no luck finding it. Plus those odd controls speak for some specialized purpose other than transport. Russian ?

[Eichhörnchen]

:har: I can see 'em now.... of course I was looking on the right-hand side, where they ought to be; there's a steering-wheel too! :haha:

So I take that back about it flying; is it a construction vehicle (maybe they're winch controls)... maybe a "Seabees" vehicle?

[Moonlight]

It looks like a retro-fitted jeep, what its used for I have no idea.:o

[Catfish]

Hello,

well, you are all partially right, i fear the end of the riddle is near.

@Aktung: American: Yes.

@Eichhoernchen: "I think it flies..." Yes.

@Bhuddaid: " ....Plus those odd controls speak for some specialized purpose other than transport. " .... Yes. "Russian ?" No, US as answered to Aktung.

@Eichhoernchen: "So I take that back about it flying; is it a construction vehicle (maybe they're winch controls)... maybe a "Seabees" vehicle?"
Don't take it back. No construction vehicle. Not a seabees v.

@Moonlight: "It looks like a retro-fitted jeep" Looks like, doesn't it? And it IS. But you have to find out what exactly ... the name

Hehe yes, that's one of the most weird constructions i ever did see (and i'm german :O:)

Maybe faster than Willy's ground-only version, but only 'downhill' gliding. No own in-flight propulsion .. basically like the ****e-Achgelis 'Bachstelze' towed by the U-boats.

Congrats Aktungbby :up:, your turn then.



edit: huh why the stars**?

[Eichhörnchen]

Because the Censorbot thought, wrongly, that you had used a naughty English word, which is similar to the German word ****er. See? It did it to me, too:D

That thing was basically a towed autogyro (like the Achgelis last time) where the freewheeling, rotating blades provide lift just through the forward motion of the thing. Funnily enough, my neighbour and I watched an autogyro swooping around over the farmland near our house last week: the first one I'd ever seen, but I knew exactly what it was and impressed him with my expertise.

Depends on the size of your monitor?!?! :-?

[Buddahaid]

Is this perhaps something that needs to be cooked but hasn't been cooked yet like a dough?

[Eichhörnchen]

Wot, you again? Haven't you had enough? There's NO COOKING!

[Buddahaid]

You're a sneaky squirrel so is this edible something anything a human, who's not starving to death, would want to eat?

"Mm... mmm! Look... we all used to eat a pretty big one, or maybe more than one, at Christmas when we were kids. You can have one of these in the house pretty much anytime now, I suppose, but it used to be just at Christmas. And you don't cook it, remember that..."

"Mmm... no, no... you're not listening: you DON'T COOK IT! Spotted Dick is a fruit and suet pudding, steamed, see? Try again"

[Catfish]

A fruit?

[Eichhörnchen]

Aaaah, it is fruit. Not a mealtime serving, rather something you'd enjoy between meals (if you had room after the Chritmas pud).

[Buddahaid]

Fig?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

That is what is known as a 'cheap goal' in hockey. Stand near the net and sooner or later a shot will hit you and go in the net.:O:

Waiting for confirmation from the squirrel.:D

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/8HPjhSg.jpg

Yes, a steaming great pile of NUTS! The very picture...

I was just coming back here to say that they are, in this case, derived from the fruit, rather than that they are the fruit (sorry, Catfish, I told you it was fruit) but you all know now, so I feel rather foolish.

Correct answer.

Fairview Lawn Cemetery, Halifax Nova Scotia. Short walk from my son's new house. Took this photo last weekend. That's him and my wife in the background. I gotta say it's a spooky place.
