Who / What / Where Game

[Jimbuna]

Oriental?

[u crank]

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

On a building?

[Eichhörnchen]

made from white-enamelled tin?

[u crank]

On a building?

Not on a building.

made from white-enamelled tin?

It is a metal but not tin.

[Jimbuna]

On a vehicle?

[u crank]

Yes. Usually.

[Catfish]

Number/license plate? :hmmm:

[u crank]

Yes.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it in a hospital?

[u crank]

Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it on a commercial vehicle?

[Catfish]

The license plate of Canada's Northwest Territories, shaped like a polar bear? :hmmm:

[u crank]

The license plate of Canada's Northwest Territories, shaped like a polar bear? :hmmm:

You are correct my friend.

https://i.imgur.com/sI6jUZK.jpg?2

Over to you. :salute:

[Catfish]

^ awww i want one :up:
The last reason i need to move to Canada :D

[Catfish]

Ok, so what is this?

https://i.imgur.com/1OzTKX6l.jpg

[Aktungbby]

is the back end or the front end?

[Catfish]

^ of what? :O:

Back.

[Buddahaid]

A kazoo.

[mapuc]

is it on the Moon ?

Markus

[Catfish]

A kazoo ?! :o
I had to look that up.
No. :haha:

It is not on the moon. On earth i might say, i hope that does not give away too much :hmmm:

[Catfish]

Has something to do with this, but is no part of the plane or directly related to the object.


https://i.imgur.com/8hi3zJel.jpg

[Jimbuna]

A bomb/ammunition trolley?

[Catfish]

^ No. A distant connection, but has nothing to do with the plane as an apparatus or any equipment of it.

[Jimbuna]

Target for shooting accuracy/training?

[Catfish]

^ no.

edit hint: what you are looking for was built after WW1, the connection to the photo is one of the persons in front of the plane.
edit hint 2: It is the person on the left, and he held a record in 1913 (if not for long)

[u crank]

Wiley Post's Lockheed Vega 5C "Winnie Mae"?

[Catfish]

a bit too modern. And the thing in question is not a plane.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is the word 'earth' featured in the name?

[Catfish]

No earth, not in name and not related. Asking for the white object on the right..

[u crank]

Is this object a vehicle of some kind?

[Catfish]

yes it is

ah Eichhörnchen sry i understand this earth thing, i just answered Mapuc and tried to be funny (ahem). So this thing was of course photographed on earth, not the moon..

[bracer]

A motorbike?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is the upper part a 'spat' covering a wheel then?

[Catfish]

@bracer: A motorbike? Yes. But which one/who built it?

@Eichhörnchen: A spat? Never heard of this word other than from spitting :hmmm:
If you mean a kind of fender or mudguard, then yes ! And below it the wheel.


Hint 3: The man who built it was a german aviation pioneer who held several records before the war (WW1), if not related to motorbikes. One of the first holding a pilot's license, constructing own plane types if with varying results, forbidden to fly in the military in WW1 because being regarded as "too valuable", but teaching others tricks and how to become pilots, and flying prototypes for evaluation.
And completely forgotten..

[Eichhörnchen]

^
In the UK we call them Wheel Spats but they're usually known as Wheel Pants or Speed Fairings in the US (on cars or aircraft)

[Catfish]

^ ok, thank you! :salute:

[Jimbuna]

I was thinking Percy Lambert but forget that.

[Catfish]

No.. he was by far not as famous as Lambert. He held a few records in flying, but this was easier to achieve at that time (1913). As said before the motorcycle came later, after the war, but before Ucrank's Vega 5.

[Aktungbby]

WELL I LOOKED UP 1913 AVIATION RECORDS AND THERE ARE NO GERMANS....:ping::ping::ping: EXCEPT FOR Leutnant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leutnant)W. Langfeld ....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_in_aviation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_in_aviation) https://www.nationalaviation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Fokker_Anthony.jpg <DID THE FIRST AIRCRAFT LOOP IN GERMANY IN 1913?

[u crank]

Was this machine built in Germany?

[Jimbuna]

The 1913 Flying Merkel?

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby: Langfeld performed a looping in an Avro 503, right, but there had been already other german pilots who did that, close after Nesterov and Pégoud, mostly in 'Taube' monoplanes. But Langfeld is not the man we look for.
And there were dozens of german pilots getting world records in flying before the war, from longest flights, to highest, to speed. Seems this has somehow been xed out eh? :O:

@u crank: Yes, it was built in Germany.

@Jim I guess any plane of 1913 was much better aerodynamically (and maybe in anything else too) than Merkel :D

As said before the machine is a motorcycle, and it did not fly.. some say it did not drive too well either :hmmm:

[u crank]

Did it have a sidecar?

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/TNg2oQd.png

I'm sick of looking at photos of old bikes... is this the kind of thing we should be looking for? ?

[Catfish]

@u crank: No side car.

@Eichhörnchen: Yes, 'kind of'.


Ok i'll post a photo of the whole thing, and then you can have a look again:

https://i.imgur.com/AgLzV9yl.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Haven't seen that one yet

Now an unscrupulous person might do a Google image-search :D

[Catfish]

^ does this work with a part of the picture? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

I believe it doesn't work as well with just part of the picture, but now that we can see the whole thing... it might do

[Aktungbby]

And there were dozens of german pilots getting world records in flying before the war, from longest flights, to highest, to speed. my posting error; the drawing portrait is Anthony Fokker who did the first loop in Germany in 1913.

[Jimbuna]

Google (admittedly) is bringing it up as the Tropfen 1953 LMS :hmmm:

[Catfish]

^ :up:
@Jim well the link says Tropfen (or 'drop', for its aerodynamic form) 1953 (??), but the photo itself claims it to be from 1923, which it is. I heard some allied soldier found it after WW2 in a garage somewhere and took it with him.

Yes, that is it, built by Max Schueler (including the engine and all).
It was called the Tropfen (drop) Motorrad, and not much were built. When WW1 was over, Max Schueler wanted to fly but was forbidden by the Versailles treaty.

The photo with the LVG biplane on the photo with Schueler, Lorinser and a third pilot was taken at Netter Heide aerodrome.
He had just taken the plane from another abandoned aerodrome and flew it to his hangar, 'illegally'.

Schueler had thrown out the MG, ammunition and was able to carry two passengers, for leisure flights (and money). Soon after the control commission demanded the plane to be destroyed, so Schueler was looking for other opportunities..

His motorcycle was ok to drive, but the fairing (thanks Eichhörnchen) was always tattering and bumping against the frame, so it could be heard from quite a distance :03:.

Before the war, Schueler had held several german and international records, first with an AGO (Otto) biplane which he took up to 3500 meters, in 1913.

Over to you, Jim

[Jimbuna]

@Jim I guess any plane of 1913 was much better aerodynamically (and maybe in anything else too) than Merkel :D

As said before the machine is a motorcycle, and it did not fly.. some say it did not drive too well either :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

HENRY VIII'S COD PIECE? https://royalarmouries.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/foot-combat-armour-1520.jpg

[Jimbuna]

Not too far away.

[u crank]

So it is a suit of armor?

[Jimbuna]

No, not armour.

[u crank]

Does this thing concern a particular English monarch?

[Aktungbby]

is it in the Tower of London?Not too far away.

[Catfish]

I was being serious :)
-> Flying Merkel
What.. i really had no idea such existed :hmmm: :up:

[Jimbuna]

Does this thing concern a particular English monarch?

No royalty involved.

[Jimbuna]

is it in the Tower of London?

No but most likely in a museum these days.

[Jimbuna]

What.. i really had no idea such existed :hmmm: :up:

:03:

[u crank]

Is it part of an aircraft?

[Jimbuna]

Nothing aviation related, definitely Terra firma.

[u crank]

Is it a mobile or stationary object?

[Jimbuna]

Good question and a difficult one to answer :hmmm:

I would say stationary but when being used it is otherwise.

An example: A shoe would be stationary but when being walked in is otherwise.

[u crank]

Is it used in warfare?

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Aktungbby]

DOES IT SHOOT SOMETHING?

[Jimbuna]

Nope

[Aktungbby]

IS IT A TWENTIETH CENTURY ITEM?

[Jimbuna]

Yes, early twentieth century.

[Armistead]

early mine or torpedo

[Jimbuna]

Nope used on land only.

[u crank]

Could you hold this thing in your hand?

[Jimbuna]

Yes and only your hand.

[u crank]

Anglo-French gauntlet dagger?

[Aktungbby]

No, not armour. Anglo-French gauntlet dagger? METHINKS A WINNER....BUT....
:hmmm: I HAD DISREGUARDED THAT AS JIMBUNA SAID NOT ARMOR https://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/promo_desktop_1x/public/2018-07/1_91.jpg?itok=bL0tYqeQ < AND IT IS CLEARLY ARMOR :shucks: BUT WE'RE 'SEPARATED BY A COMMON LANGUAGE':O: FOR EXAMPLE FROM THE SAME ERA: https://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/promo_desktop_1x/public/2018-07/2_17.jpg?itok=j6JvwYMA<ARMOR VS NOT ARMOR>https://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default/files/styles/promo_desktop_1x/public/2018-07/2_20.jpg?itok=S9KIa4cm:yeah:

[Eichhörnchen]

Surely you mean 'armour' :D

[Aktungbby]

Surely you mean 'armour' :DWELL YES BUT I WAS BEING SURLY SINCE I POSTED BEFORE MY MORNING CUPPA JOE!:yep: :shucks::O:

[Eichhörnchen]

I finished my morning Cup of Joe ten hours ago... I am now anticipating my evening tot of rum :Kaleun_Salute:

[Aktungbby]

the Nelson's Blood goes in the the cuppajoe- a serious hot 'toddy' if ever!:Kaleun_Cheers:

[Jimbuna]

Anglo-French gauntlet dagger?

Spot on (I'll not bother posting the picture as it is the same one you posted).

Apologies to Aktung for any confusion but I was under the impression the gauntlet was made from leather.

[u crank]

Roger. That was a good one.:salute:

OK what exactly is this?

https://i.imgur.com/BxHrOuW.jpg?1

[Eichhörnchen]

An artwork?

[u crank]

Some people might consider the object a piece of art but no, not in the traditional sense that you are thinking. I'm looking for the object.

[Jimbuna]

A trophy?

[u crank]

Not a trophy.

[Buddahaid]

A flowerbed?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it emblazoned on a vehicle or aircraft?

[u crank]

A flowerbed?

Is it emblazoned on a vehicle or aircraft?

No to both.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it on a building?

[u crank]

Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it in Canada?

[u crank]

No. It has been on display at different locations but not Canada to my knowledge.

[Eichhörnchen]

Did it achieve some kind of record?

[u crank]

No.

[mapuc]

I'll give a try(a shot in the dark)

Some kind of flag ?

Markus

[u crank]

Sorry but not a flag.

[Buddahaid]

It looks very much like a fabric. Is it political in nature?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a map?

[u crank]

It looks very much like a fabric. Is it political in nature?

Not the slightest bit political. It's not a fabric.

[u crank]

Is it a map?

Not a map.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a poster?

[u crank]

Not a poster.

[Jimbuna]

Tapestry?

[u crank]

No. It is not that type of artwork or any type of artwork in the traditional sense.

[Jimbuna]

Tail of an aircraft?

[u crank]

Tail of an aircraft?

No. Not military and much smaller. It can be picked up and carried.

[Eichhörnchen]

British Airways travel bag?

[Jimbuna]

United Airlines?

[u crank]

British Airways travel bag?

United Airlines?

No not a corperate logo of any kind. Not a bag.

When I said you could pick it up it would be to use it for a very specific function. When it was made it was a very unique thing that has since been widely copied. Hint: Made by an American.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this found in just one country, or is it seen worldwide?

[u crank]

It could be taken and used anywhere. I'm sure it has been in a lot of countries.

[Aktungbby]

IS IT AN EVERY DAY UTILITY ITEM TASKWISE OR A TOURIST VACATION ITEM?

[u crank]

IS IT AN EVERY DAY UTILITY ITEM TASKWISE OR A TOURIST VACATION ITEM?

I'm going to say neither. Much more specific use.

[Jimbuna]

Does it have wheels attached?

[u crank]

No wheels.

This object when in use is held in both hands.

The person who made this object then used it to become very famous.

[Jimbuna]

Is it in any way Disney-related?

[u crank]

No, but it does concern the entertainment business.

[Aktungbby]

does it require batteries?

[u crank]

No.

[Aktungbby]

is it a toy?

[u crank]

No.

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/AoGGt7q.jpg Is it one of Timmy Mallett's mallets?

[mapuc]

is it game related ?

Markus

[u crank]

Is it one of Timmy Mallett's mallets?

I'm not familiar with Mr. Mallett. Or his mallett. :O:

But no.

[u crank]

is it game related ?

Not game related.

[Jimbuna]

A musical instrument?

[u crank]

A musical instrument?

Yes.

[Jimbuna]

Not a drum.

[Catfish]

a drum and an american inventor? :hmmm:


A saxophone?

[Jimbuna]

Guitar?

[u crank]

a drum and an american inventor? :hmmm:
A saxophone?

Not a drum. American yes, inventor no. This person created his own version of something that already existed.

Guitar?

Yes.

[Jimbuna]

Fender guitar?

[u crank]

Fender guitar?

Not a fender or any brand name. It was a one of a kind known by the name I am looking for. But I will accept the creator's name.

[Jimbuna]

Eddie Van Halen’s ‘Frankenstrat’?

[Aktungbby]

RICKENBACKER ?

[u crank]

Eddie Van Halen’s ‘Frankenstrat’?

https://i.imgur.com/1B3nMDX.jpg?2

Yes. Eddie's creation combined the elements of a Fender strat with the Les Paul sound. So he bought a cheap replacement Strat style body and added a Floyd Rose locking tremolo arm and a humbucking pickup from a Gibson ES-335. The rest is history. It doesn't look like much but with it Eddie changed the electric guitar world in a big way.

Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists puts Eddie at #8. I would have him in the top 3.

Over to you Jim.:salute:

[Jimbuna]

What are these?

https://i.imgur.com/Zb2amSM.jpg

[u crank]

:haha:

Your knees?

[Jimbuna]

I hope not but you are warm.

[u crank]

Is it part of the human body?

[Jimbuna]

It is not PART of the human body but is connected in a way.

[u crank]

Is this thing a biological entity?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

[Catfish]

not biological.. so no coconuts (thought of M.P:'s knights) :hmmm:

[u crank]

Is this something a human would wear?

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Aktungbby]

DOES IT EVER NEED SHAVING OR A HAIRCUT?

[Buddahaid]

Hairy fanny pack?

[Jimbuna]

DOES IT EVER NEED SHAVING OR A HAIRCUT?

Not as far as I'm aware.

[Jimbuna]

Hairy fanny pack?

Getting warm.

[Eichhörnchen]

Collectors model of Buster Gonad's plums

[Buddahaid]

Your mom's bum in a thong?

[Jimbuna]

Something worn by a female.

[Aktungbby]

as clothing or as an accessory item?:timeout:

[Eichhörnchen]

Were they worn long ago in history, or are they still worn?

[Jimbuna]

as clothing or as an accessory item?:timeout:

Clothing.

[Jimbuna]

Were they worn long ago in history, or are they still worn?

Still worn, a modern day thing.

In fact, you'd look good in them :haha:

[Aktungbby]

YOU AID 'THESE' SO ARE THERE TWO WORN AT THE SAME TIME?/

[Jimbuna]

Most definitely.

[Aktungbby]

UPPER OR LOWER ANATOMY?

[Eichhörnchen]

I think they are carpet slippers

Nope, not slippers but I reckon you'll be amused when you guess or find out what they actually are.

[Eichhörnchen]

Brassiere cups?

[Aktungbby]

UPPER OR LOWER ANATOMY?

Lower.

Brassiere cups?U bugger! You've just flunked anatomy 101....:o :oops: :O: the 'declottage' is still 'upper' anatomy no matter the sagging ravages of time and gravity on your enamorata!:know:

[Jimbuna]

Brassiere cups?

Think back to a photo you posted not all that long ago.

[Eichhörnchen]

How can I wade through all the garbage I've posted on here, even over the last few hours? I'll never find it

[Jimbuna]

It wasn't that long ago and you admitted you had sought prior permission.

[Eichhörnchen]

Hmmm... that would've been Moira's leg on our wedding day? That wasn't very hairy (not on that day, anyway)

I've earned a bit more time to think about this, while the others go off looking for the photo, lol


How about hairy stockings?

[Jimbuna]

Yep, good enough for me....Anti-pervert hairy stockings :)

https://i.imgur.com/2yR2JUo.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Well I never... I don't suppose they'd put STEED off though

https://i.imgur.com/a2Y8gq6.jpg Anyway... what's this a part of?

[Buddahaid]

A tracked vehicle.

[Eichhörnchen]

^ These tracks are on a vehicle

[u crank]

Is it a military vehicle?

[Buddahaid]

How about a Goliath tracked mine?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Marcel: perhaps I'd be safest describing it as 'quasi-military'... it isn't strictly a battlefield vehicle but it needs to have the ability to cross difficult terrain

@ Buddababy: not a 'Goliath'

[Aktungbby]

is it a two person vehicle?

[Eichhörnchen]

Can seat a driver, co-driver and passenger

[Aktungbby]

does the 'passenger' have a function to perform while in the vehicle?

[Eichhörnchen]

No function

[Rockstar]

Is it a Wiesel Tankette?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope... neat try though

[Rockstar]

Nope... neat try though


After watching them on youtube, I really really want one now.

[Aktungbby]

used in WWII?

[Catfish]

A 'Kettenkrad' to pull planes and carry/pull equipment? :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

^ I CONSIDERED THAT BUT THE 'RABBIT' IN SAVING PRIVTE RYAN https://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/1501506/size/tl-horizontal_main.jpg THE SPROCKET DOES NOT MATCH EICH'S PICTURE AND THERE IS NO 'CO-DRIVER AND PASSENGER' MERELY A DRIVER AND TWO PASSENGERS...

[Eichhörnchen]

Not a kettenkraftrad and not used in WW2

[Jimbuna]

A snow vehicle?

[Eichhörnchen]

No... all-weather

[Jimbuna]

Used by UK Commandos?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Aktungbby]

British vehicle?

[Eichhörnchen]

The origin/conception of this vehicle was indeed British

[Jimbuna]

Arctic related?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

Clues:

They go very fast

They are all the same colour

[Buddahaid]

Damn! I've searched for all kinds of tracked vehicles and even track types and can't dig it out! Evil!:O:

Another clue:

They are said to be radar-equipped

[Reece]

The Space family Robinson ATV. :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

A fairground ride?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Reece: Put yer glasses on

@ Jim: No

[Aktungbby]

WAS IT DEVELOPED IN SINGAPORE?:hmmm:

[Platapus]

I honestly don't think that was a fair image for this game. There is not enough detail to be able to determine exact models.

[Rockstar]

is it an aircraft?

[Rockstar]

Is the 'track' shown in the picture part of the drive train or engine?

[Buddahaid]

I honestly don't think that was a fair image for this game. There is not enough detail to be able to determine exact models.

So far as I can tell, I haven't seen a track like that on anything so maybe it is specific.

[Reece]

@ Reece: Put yer glasses on

But that's no fun!! :doh:

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Aktung: not built in Singapore

@ Platapus: here's more... but it is one of those cases where showing more is practically giving it away (and I've seen worse examples):

https://i.imgur.com/dAD8I4b.jpg

@ Rockstar: Not an aircraft

@ Budda: I suppose you would consider it to be very specific to this vehicle

[Buddahaid]

Doesn't really show more than I was looking for.

[Eisenwurst]

Is it squirrel friendly?

[Jimbuna]

Google reckons it's a Captain Scarlet spv :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/5nG6K6L.jpg

I guess it was so ingenious, that was the only way you were going to get it

[Platapus]

A fictional vehicle?

[Rockstar]

Aircraft? answer: No

Are the 'tracks' part of the drive train or engine? no answer. :hmmm:

by the looks of this cartoon car these so called tracks are neither part of the drive train or engine. Not even sure they could be considered tracks. More like left over plastic parts from another project the modeller glued on because he thought it looked cool, eye candy for kiddies when they watched the show.

[Buddahaid]

Devious! I see the tracks get deployed to work in tandem with the wheels when needed.

[Reece]

http://www.thecoryellgroup.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/sulking-man.jpg
I was close with my guess!!

[Eichhörnchen]

Devious! I see the tracks get deployed to work in tandem with the wheels when needed.

Cropping it this way it looked like the front end of a conventional track arrangement :03:

@ Rockstar: I only answered your first question because you are only allowed one at a time

[Jimbuna]

Not a plane.

[u crank]

Ship?

Not a ship.

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

[Aktungbby]

is it military?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is that a welded seam?

[Armistead]

A weapon , goes boom?

[Reece]

Looks like part of the hull of an old U-Boat. :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

An iron privy?

[Reece]

Yes by gum I think you're right! :yep:

[Jimbuna]

is it military?

Yes

[Jimbuna]

Is that a welded seam?

I believe so.

A weapon , goes boom?

Yes, a weapon but I'm not so sure about the 'boom' bit.

[Jimbuna]

Looks like part of the hull of an old U-Boat. :hmmm:

An iron privy?

No to both.

[u crank]

Armored vehicle?

[Jimbuna]

Armored vehicle?

Yes

[Catfish]

A train? :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Much much smaller than a train.

Clues: A single crewman and extremely rare and possibly not known about by a great many people. I certainly didn't until I went looking for something odd for this thread.

[Rockstar]

Stapp's rocket sled?

[Jimbuna]

No, not a sled.

Clue: WWII era.

[u crank]

I beleive that is the unusual Kugelpanzer. The spherical tank.

[Jimbuna]

Spot on :yeah:

http://i65.tinypic.com/23mlc0n.jpg

The Krupp Kugelpanzer

Very little information is available on this round, single-person armored vehicle, on display in the Kobinka Tank Musuem outside of Moscow. Kugelpanzer means "ball tank," and the one halfway-decent source of information online believes it to be a rolling reconnaissance vehicle captured in Manchuria in 1945 by the Russians, having been sent to Japan as part of a technology transfer with the Japanese.
