dang it, I thought I had it.....

[Betonov]

The plane is also called ''the Big Stick''

That's the Roosevelt reference :03:

[Betonov]

This shouldn't be too obscure nor too easy.
It's a piece of art, not a piece of history :O:

So what is it ???

And it's not Jim

[Jimbuna]

This is a painting called "Cossack Zaporoja Write a letter to the Sultan of Turkey."

[Betonov]

jim is right (finally) :O:

[Jimbuna]

Looking for something appropriate...back within the hour.

[Armistead]

dang, I could've got that one, came up quick with google picture search.

Do something American Jim...

[Jimbuna]

This is part of the landing gear and port wing of which aircraft?

This shouldn't take long.

You got your wish but were too slow as usual :)

Over to you Oberon.

[Oberon]

Ah, bless her, I've seen that one in flight. Lovely sound she makes too. :up:

Aaalrighty then...what's this from?

Canberra bomber cockpit?

:haha: Nice try, but no, I've learnt my lesson this time. :03:

[Stealhead]

The checkering makes me think it is something desgined for regular manipulation.

It has to be a flight stick of some sort.

F-86 control stick.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I'm 99% certain that Stealhead has got it bang on.

I think it's more of a pistol grip with a strange thumb rest :hmmm:

[Oberon]

Yes, but no.

It's a flight stick, but not from an F-86. You're not far off though, just a generation out.

[u crank]

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. Control stick.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. Control stick.

Closer, but nope. :salute:

FJ-1 Fury

[TarJak]

F101Starfighter?

[Jimbuna]

From a Brick?

[Oberon]

F101Starfighter?

Interesting...

You are correct but also incorrect. The F-101 is a Voodoo, not a Starfighter, the Starfighter (or tentpeg) is the F-104.

Nevertheless, it is from an F-101 so you've got it. :yeah:

Enigma without the rotors. :yeah:

[TarJak]

Another correct and incorrect guess. It's the lid of an enigma which does have the rotors.:O:

I knew I was trying to be too clever, still I'll take that victory. I'll be back in about 3 hours, I'll see if I can find something more Armistad-related, and this is his warning to check back in 3-4 hours.

No teddy bears or cuddly toys if you'd be so kind :shifty:

I'm be here waiting....:D

[Armistead]

:har: Well, so far he's missed all the 'American' stuff that we've done for him.

When did someone do something American...:o

[Jimbuna]

My last one was an F-86 Sabre.

[Oberon]

When did someone do something American...:o

We've had an American made locomotive (class 66), two American aircraft (F-86 Sabre and F-101 Voodoo), and an American radial engine! :har:

In fact, the Enigma machine was the first non-American object in about four turns! :har::har::har::har:

[Armistead]

Oh, that stuff was American....

Maybe I need something Southern American.....

[Herr-Berbunch]

I have an idea there that would still be very challenging even if I met your must be made in the south "rule". More than one in fact. You are hoping for something civil war era. Problem there is most things would be British, French or from the US.

[Armistead]

OK....I'm not sure for sure, but I think I know this one

A Dumbbell :rock::rock:

wait which one is first...

that's ....gee, I know that one.....that's my hand...can't fool me...I WIN

[Stealhead]

Negative ghost rider I won the last one. :shifty:

It is not a cannon breech. It is a weapon of war or rather a motive portion of one.

Here it is again

[Armistead]

let me get my dang glasses

[Armistead]

Hub of a caisson or part of axle/wheel.

[Stealhead]

Nope. You must be too close to the screen.:D

Another clue or two: it is a portion of a reciprocating engine. The engine powers a weapon of war.
What is it?
Slightly wider view

[Oberon]

Mitsubishi engine from a Chi-ha? :hmmm:

[Stealhead]

Nope this machine does not have treads or wheels.It is enclosed.This is pre-WWII technology.Time span 1840~1905.
That should help narrow things down.

[Oberon]

:hmmm:

An engine from the Mikasa?

[Oberon]

Or is it the Hunley? :hmmm:

[Armistead]

what is the engine or the weapon of war it powers?

[Armistead]

Ironclad or Steam paddle boat?

[Stealhead]

Oberon wins it is the CSS Hunley or a replica. Come on Armistead that was made in the South and was Civil War.:oops: Got to read the clues better if it has no wheels or treads that narrows it down to a boat,ship or submarine.

I'll put one up later when I'm back at the home computer. :salute:

[Stealhead]

It should be something Welsh just because.

[Stealhead]

It surely is a war horse with that armor. It is not Asian they did have nose armor far as I am aware.

Stab in the dark Joan of Arc.

Edit: ah I think I know what it is now I will pass on this one. Let someone else win.

Where is this gun barrel? Extra points for what it's attached to.

[Jimbuna]

Naval gun or tank?

[Jimbuna]

Chieftain at Elvington?

[Oberon]

Looks in too good a condition to be the Chieftain at Elvington... :O:

No, I'm going to say the obvious (which means it's wrong) and say it's one of HMS Belfasts guns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU5mOT57ghM).

Correct, it's not the Chieftain.

It's also not the Belfast in London. Wrong landmass.

[Armistead]

Battery Chamberlin

If not, Is it a coastal artillery piece

[Oberon]

USS Texas? :hmmm:

[TarJak]

Battery Chamberlin

Nope. Not a coastal battery.

USS Texas? :hmmm:
Much further West.

[Armistead]

USS Arizona gun displayed at PH

Don't think that's it because it seems to be attached to something more out of the norm.
Can you give us this clue.....Would it be found between Pearl and Japan?

[Oberon]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...the Mikasa? :hmmm:

[TarJak]

It was deployed there at some time during its service but is not that far west now.

I'll say it is attached to something quite familiar to almost everyone here.

Nope

[VipertheSniper]

I'll go with the 5" deckgun of the USS Pampanito

[Jimbuna]

I'll go with the 5" deckgun of the USS Pampanito

I'd put money on that, he visited Pampanito after the 2008 TexasSubSim Meet.

If it weren't that it will be the SS Jeremiah O'Brien.

[VipertheSniper]

guess it's also not a coincidence that he password protected the photobucket album that's linked in his signature...

[Armistead]

Does this racing take place at any time in Salzburgring

[VipertheSniper]

not in the season, when the picture was taken, but yes.

[Armistead]

Mato Homola

[VipertheSniper]

He's driving the right car, but it's not him.

[Armistead]

Last guess, then I would just be spamming names..

Alessandro Zanardi

[VipertheSniper]

get your glasses out and take a closer look at that livery on the front fender

[Armistead]

Darrell Waltrip:O:

I don't follow racing much, not even nascar anymore...

Only name I know left would be Ricard.

[Stealhead]

Well the fact that I see a union jack lets me know that the driver or team is British. It more than likely is a 3 series.

[VipertheSniper]

The driver is a Brit and was very successful in that particular series.

[Jimbuna]

Tom Coronel?

[VipertheSniper]

Tom Coronel?

not really that successful in the WTCC, also I don't think Tom Coronel ever was a BMW works driver in the WTCC.

[Oberon]

Andy Priaulx?

Andy Priaulx?

Yea,...I think that's it...so I have no other guess. Car looks like a match.

[Jimbuna]

Tom Chilton?

[VipertheSniper]

Andy Priaulx?

That's the one I was looking for. I guess we got who and what covered, now we only need a where. Hint: the picture was taken in 2009 and the colours of the curbs reflect the colours of the countries flag where this race took place

[TarJak]

Seeing as he crashed his BMW M3 at Le Mans in 2011, I reckon that might be the place.

[Oberon]

Actually, I'm going to go with Okayama, Japan.

[Oberon]

No...no I'm not...

I'm going to go with the Masaryk Circuit! :yeah: The first race to be precise. According to wiki:

Farfus moved to the left at the start, collecting Priaulx, Huff, Larini and Gené before beaching himself in the gravel trap. Priaulx limped back to the pits minus his front bumper and with broken front suspension while Farfus, Huff and Larini were stuck at turn one.

So, to answer the who, what and where (and when)

Andy Priaulx in his BMW 320si at Masaryk Circuit, Czech Republic on the 21st June 2009.

Some would say so. :yep:

[Armistead]

rudder/aileron/flap control rod on an aeroplane

[Stealhead]

I know that is R2D2 grabber arm.

Looks like a handle at the bottom. Looks almost like a release pin like what some "remove before flight" flags have.

Saftey release pin. The threading throws me.

If not I say cattle prod.

Nope

It was used on some, yes, well, not this particular object but others similar to it.

[Armistead]

well, was thinking a throttle/shifter control rod for an Inboard/outboard or maybe steering assembly for sailboat..

[Jimbuna]

An actuator arm operated by a server or connected via wire to facilitate the operation of a rudder etc.?

[Oberon]

Does the actual picture represent it in or before the 1950's. Are you saying this wasn't used after the 1950's.

The picture represents the prototype, but variants on it were used until the 1950s across the world. After the 1950s it wasn't used, no, well not that I'm aware of anyway, it's entirely possible that some old examples are knocking around in some out of the way nations, but not particularly likely.

[Jimbuna]

A steering lock?

[Oberon]

A steering lock?

Nope.

Ok, another clue, this one should crack it.

It was used, in various guises by the following nations:

British Empire
United States
German Empire
French Third Republic
Russian Empire
Qing Dynasty
Empire of Japan
Iran
Korean Empire
Ottoman Empire
Kingdom of Italy
Dervish State

Well a hammer is one item used by all of those nations and empire also hammers are still in use post 1950. It does not really look like a sickle.

Nope, although there was some distance measuring involved in its use, up to around 3,000 yards I do believe, although more commonly no more than 900.

[Armistead]

was it part of a weapon

Yes

Who's in charge here to file a complaint...I done read 94 poems..

OK...I'll try

[Armistead]

Hotchkiss

Hotchkiss

Nope.

[Armistead]

Maxim

[Armistead]

Browning

[Armistead]

Vickers Mk

[Stealhead]

Vickers MK I machine gun the only one in WWI that had that long range elevation to fire out 4,500 yds in the indirect fire mode. Though that is a very optimistic range at that point little more than tossing a rock really. They made a special round to allow that kind of range as I recall. came out in 1916 or so.

@Armistead you guessing is just strange four wheel carriage gun? You know it is a machine gun. Hotchkiss,Maximum, Browning are all gun designers or gun makers and there is no Vickers MK. Mk or MK stands for Mark in British military nomenclature there is no such thing as simply Mark nothing.

He said you must be firm, but kind.
A mutiny resulted.
I shall never forget the way
That Blood stood upon this awful day
Preserved us all from death.
He stood upon a little mound
Cast his lethargic eyes around,
And said beneath his breath:
'Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim Gun, and they have not.'

In regards to range, I defer to the Gunny:

[Armistead]

Vickers MK I machine gun the only one in WWI that had that long range elevation to fire out 4,500 yds in the indirect fire mode. Though that is a very optimistic range at that point little more than tossing a rock really. They made a special round to allow that kind of range as I recall. came out in 1916 or so.

@Armistead you guessing is just strange four wheel carriage gun? You know it is a machine gun. Hotchkiss,Maximum, Browning are all gun designers or gun makers and there is no Vickers MK. Mk or MK stands for Mark in British military nomenclature there is no such thing as simply Mark nothing.

Technically though, isn't Tarjak the original poster? :hmmm: :O:

[Armistead]

Did I win....I want to hear you write it....Feel free to use bold..

[TarJak]

You won

:O:

[Armistead]

It's an honor for me to represent the brains from the bilge in our first victory.

I'll make this easy though as I may be on the road here in a few hours and not able to get on til later this evening or tomorrow.

Who/Where is this?

[Jimbuna]

That is a picture of your wife at a dog show IIRC but you are being a tad disingenuous ya bad bugga....you posted that once before and immediately deleted it, not knowing I can read and see deleted posts.

You've waited all this time for an opportunity to post and that is the best you can come up with.

I call for a revolution ...it is time the Europeans put the shackles back on Armistead and his elk.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!! :arrgh!:

If it wasn't a dog show it was a restaurant, cinema or some other establishment :O:

[Armistead]

I know it's easy, but don't think I'll be on until late tomorrow...

So Jim wins and ucrank wins.....what now..

but since everyone does it... we haven't answered when which can be settled by guessing my wifes age in the pic.

Only Jim and ucrank can guess one time, the one closest to her age in the pic I will deem the winner. My wife and I are some years apart in age.

[Jimbuna]

I'll defer to u_crank (not TarJak), I've had more than my share of examples.

Never guess a ladies age because too high and your considered an insulting bugga and too low and your considered a pee taker :doh:

Needless to say she is very pretty and you should consider yourself a lucky chap :know:

[Armistead]

I will defer to Jim, plus he basically cheated anyway.

She's 50 in the pic, not bad for an old lady.

You're up Ucrank...

{Jim, she shadows the forum from time to time under some name, so sure she'll appreciate the compliment}

[u crank]

I'll defer to u_crank (not TarJak), I've had more than my share of examples.

Thank you. You are a good sport. :salute:

Never guess a ladies age because too high and your considered an insulting bugga and too low and your considered a pee taker :doh:

Agreed. I've made that error more than once.:oops:

@Armistead.

If that is your wife she is very pretty.:O:

[Armistead]

Thank you. You are a good sport. :salute:



Agreed. I've made that error more than once.:oops:

@Armistead.

If that is your wife she is very pretty.:O:

Yes, that's the old nag a few ago. She's still very pretty. She was a lower lever, think they called them 3'rd tier, Victoria Secret model in her day, modeled for others as well and even one of those gals that kissed the winning racecar driver when it was Winston Cup.

Plus, I stole her from Sam Elliot....really, a true story.

Ole Armistead got a lot more going on than you ever thought, huh.....

OK, here a new one....

What is this?

[swamprat69er]

The guard rail on Confederation bridge.

[u crank]

Nope. That thing is all concrete.

[Armistead]

May I ask....is this how we would see/view the item in it's natural use?

Appears to have a barcode or letters on it, but hard to tell.

[u crank]

No. It is on display.

He he. If you say so. :O:

[Armistead]

mmmm, white, maybe a pole with supports...newer looking and probably in a museum...

Flag pole

[u crank]

[Jimbuna]

A window blind?

Part of an aircrafts landing gear? :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Could it be a projector screen?

[Armistead]

starting to think it's sports related....

[Oberon]

Spirit of St. Louis? :hmmm:

[Armistead]

Would you say if it has something to do with a space program?

[u crank]

Spirit of St. Louis? :hmmm:

Nope.

Would you say if it has something to do with a space program?

Earlier technology.

[Armistead]

landing bar/skid on a helo

[u crank]

It's not a landing skid. The helo part is close. Technically it could not be called a helicopter.

Expanded view.

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

And a clue. It was a piece of equipment from a naval vessel.

[Armistead]

fighting a connection here...stealing neighbors, hope i ain't triple posting yet.

Well, seems to do with flight, not space, plane or helo....

What's left.....maybe something to do with a balloon....I'll look more, but throw a guess of a launcher for a weather balloon.

[u crank]

Nope.

I repeat "the helo part was close".:03:

[Oberon]

F-o-c-k-e-Achgelis Fa330?

yes...it is, I recognise it now, it's part of the tail section.

[Buddahaid]

I was just going to say that! :O:

[Armistead]

yep,,,dang it....that's it.

[u crank]

Nope, it's a bit more ground based.

[Jimbuna]

Right then, what's this?

http://i.imgur.com/uP4khuV.jpg?1

TBH it looks like a black patch to me...must be my eyesight :o

[Armistead]

Is that it.....geesh, I see a white dot on a blackish background...

Xray
a picture of bug taken with a flash camera in the night sky...:D

[Jimbuna]

A close-up of a frogmans dive suit.

[Armistead]

you know Jim may be on to something, looks like an underwater shot to me.

I'll just say an underwater picture ...:D

[TarJak]

A picture of a ghost on a bridge?:D

[Armistead]

:stare:

[Jimbuna]

A picture of a planet or moon in the sky.

It's a dark green, not black. :yep:

:haha::haha::haha::har:

So...first clue. There were male and female versions.

[Armistead]

finger over a camera lense at night.....


geesh, female and male verison of black, wait, dark green static with a white dot....Okkkkk.

thinking we may need more rules for this game...

[u crank]

There were male and female versions.

Does this were mean that they are no longer in use or being produced?

[Armistead]

[Armistead]

Is this image magnified, under a microscope...?

[Stealhead]

The super close images make it look like an insect to me.Maybe a little tiny aphid there are male and female aphids an aphid removed by pesticide would be a were.

[Armistead]

I already said bug...:O:

:haha:

Correct, the last recorded use of one was around 1941/2 although there are rumours that one was used as late as 1945.

Nope.

True, but incorrect.

:salute:


So...another clue?

Rhomboid. :yep:

[Stealhead]

The muscle or the mathmatic term?

Surely not an MRI image of a rohmoid muscle.

Is it the minds eye looking back at me?

[Oberon]

The muscle or the mathmatic term?

Surely not an image of a rohmoid muscle.

Mathematic, and nope.

[Stealhead]

A spore of some kind? Too small a seed.

[Oberon]

A spore of some kind? Too small a seed.

Nope.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it the V-1 Flying Bomb aka the doodlebug?

[Armistead]

Is it the V-1 Flying Bomb aka the doodlebug?

Were there male and female versions of the V1?

Hmmmm, maybe a doodlebug....

[Oberon]

It's not a V1, and it's not a Cockchafer/Bumble-witch/Buzzy-witch/Doodlebug either. :03:

[TarJak]

Uniform of some sort?

[Jimbuna]

Wrasse?

[Armistead]

Wrasse?


He said it's land based, but could be an aquarium on land.

Good thinking!

[Jimbuna]

Well it's certainly some sort of micro organism like an amoeba for example.

[Oberon]

Uniform of some sort?

Nope, although uniforms are involved with it...in it to be precise.

Wrasse?

Nope

He said it's land based, but could be an aquarium on land.

Good thinking!

Nope, minimal water involved, in fact it tended to get stuck when water was introduced to the surrounding landscape.

Well it's certainly some sort of micro organism like an amoeba for example.

Nope. :03:

[Betonov]

That means it's a land vehicle. Most probably used on the Russian front in any war since Napoleon :hmmm:

[Oberon]

That means it's a land vehicle. Most probably used on the Russian front in any war since Napoleon :hmmm:

Yes, and yes. :yep: It has seen service in Russia, as well as Western Europe.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Was it used by the Wehrmacht and had a 2 cm cannon?

[Betonov]

Kubelwagen ??

[Oberon]

Was it used by the Wehrmacht and had a 2 cm cannon?

Two were found in Berlin in 1945, so there's a possibility that they were used during the Battle for Berlin by the Wehrmacht, however nothing has been confirmed. The largest cannon carried is 5.7cm in calibre.


Kubelwagen ??

Nope.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it the Panzer II?

[Oberon]

Is it the Panzer II?

Nope.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

I think I was thinking about the wrong war. How about the A7V?
