Who / What / Where Game

[Jimbuna]

Olivia Newton John?

[mapuc]

Sorry Markus. I got no idea what you mean.



Oh my mistake

I meant Star Trek The Original Series

I do understand this is not the correct answer.

Markus

[Eisenwurst]

Jim. It's not O N J, but I'm pretty sure they know each other.

Markus. Nothing to do with Star Trek, it's definetly not her scene.

I'll give it one more day.

Last clue : -

She's a personal friend of Kathy Troutt ( Beautiful Women Thread ).

[Buddahaid]

Judy Davis?

[Eisenwurst]

er..... no.

This is probably about as much enlargement as it will stand... I'm going to have to be out of this one though, owing to work commitments

[Eisenwurst]

That's a shame. It's really easy, I've practically given the answer, it just needs a bit of searching. :doh:

[Jimbuna]

Sylvia Annie Adam

[Eisenwurst]

Sorry to take so long. I had a restless night - old age.

Here's the answer..... drumroll.......

It is, of course Skippy. Watched by 300 million people worldwide every week back in the 60s.

An interesting "tell all" documentary was made a few years ago.

This is a bit of a teaser from it.

If the rules permit, I'd like Aktung.. to be next. If not then I leave it up to the adjudicators ( Jim? ) to decide.

[u crank]

Damn it!

:har:

Pretty good man. I learned a lot about Aussie actresses though. :D

[Buddahaid]

That was cruelly misleading. :haha:

[Eisenwurst]

Damn it!

Pretty good man. I learned a lot about Aussie actresses though. :D

Always glad to further Global Education.

Re Aussie actresses, Candy Raymond was quite the Babe.

[Catfish]

"She" is wearing sunglasses :o
I thought it was the sea-diving girl you mentioned, or something to do with dolphins like Jim proposed
:haha:
This was a good one again :D

[Jimbuna]

If the rules permit, I'd like Aktung.. to be next. If not then I leave it up to the adjudicators ( Jim? ) to decide.

Over to Aktung then.

[Catfish]

Russian Kilo?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not but something has just struck me as being quite funny....all will be revealed soon I suspect :haha:

[Catfish]

Sure looks strange for a WW2 submarine :hmmm:

[Catfish]

The rear tower/sail of a VIIa type?

Hmm, could also be some less-known milk cow type :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

I posted Built during the Second World War.

The picture was taken post WW2 era and we both know some had long lives after modernisation and refits etc.

[mapuc]

I have visit one sub during our subsim meet i Holland.

It was a Type XXI who had been rebuild and used after the war

(I have seen two subs-the last was in Laboe)

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Not German.

[mapuc]

Then it must be Japanese.

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Delfin Y-9?

[Jimbuna]

Then it must be Japanese.

Markus

Delfin Y-9?

Neither of those.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Is it the USS Barb SS-220 after modernization?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not but it was US built during WW2.

Indeed. Soon as I saw the original name I knew what you were getting at.

Ok then, what is this?

https://i.imgur.com/FPc7E1Q.jpg?2

[Buddahaid]

A funnel.

[u crank]

A funnel.

Yes. Which one? :O:

[Aktungbby]

After use in the field, commanders objected to main armament flame throwers chiefly because they replaced the tank's main gun. To meet this criticism, COL Unmacht's staff drew up plans for mounting flame throwers alongside the gun instead of replacing it. Work began in late 1944 when Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, anticipating an invasion of Japan, asked for at least seventy-two main armament flame throwers. Most of the tanks provided by the Marines carried 75mm guns, the remainder carried 105mm howitzers. By judicious planning, designers arranged the interior of the vehicles to allow the storage of forty rounds of 75mm or twenty rounds of 105mm shells without decreasing the quantity of flame-thrower fuel. Handicapped by a scarcity of parts and a dearth of machinists and other craftsmen, the work proceeded slowly. During the battle on Okinawa the Tenth Army asked for eighteen of these double-barrel M4A1 Sherman tanks, designated POA-CWS-H5. They were on their way to that island by the time the battle ended, and were rerouted, instead, to the Marianas to equip the Marine division rehabilitating there. Seventy tanks were ready for the invasion of Japan when the operation was called off and the war came to an end.
The rapid demobilization after World War II ended terminated interest in the M4 Sherman flame tanks. The Army was left with none, but the Marine Corps kept a small number of the double-barreled M4A3E8 Shermans equipped with 105mm main gun with the POA-CWS-H5 flame system alongside. When the Korean War (https://olive-drab.com/od_history_korea.php) began in June 1950, the Marine Corps hurriedly formed a platoon of nine flame tanks within its First Tank Battalion. These tanks were pulled from storage in Hawaii and California, then accompanied the Marines in the Inchon Landing, 15 September 1950. In Korea, the M4 Sherman flame tanks made a heroic contribution, http://www.usarmymodels.com/AFV%20PHOTOS/POA-CWS-H1%20Sherman%20Flame%20Tank/IMG_8972.jpg THE FRONT ONE:O:

[Buddahaid]

No sir.

[Aktungbby]

could this tank be dubbed a 'winona' ryder?:D

[Buddahaid]

That it could.

PIONEER SKELETON TANK http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/skeleton-tank-1953.jpgThe Pioneer Tractor Company from Winona, Minnesota, (THAT'S MINNESOTA NICE:yeah:) proposed a rather strange looking vehicle. Trying to mimic the trench-crossing abilities of the British rhomboid tanks while producing a lightweight vehicle led to one of the most distinctive prototypes of the war. While the tracks encircled a structure of the shape of its British inspiration, the crew was encased in an armored box at the center of the vehicle, with a gun turret on top and an engine on each side of the compartment. The driver had a small horizontal vision slit at the front of the tank in the upper middle section of the armored box. The commander/gunner had a vision slit in the turret. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Skeleton_Tank_02_-_APG.jpg/800px-Skeleton_Tank_02_-_APG.jpg

Ned Kelly?Ned was born in 1855; so a little young for the 'late 1850's". I looked at the Ned pics too! Weird though: I've built my own armor for a college project and my Civil War Parker-Hale .577 Enfield rifle is the same... just not the Snyder-breech conversion Ned carried, now on display at the Victoria Museum with his homemade plowboard armor- capable of stopping the Martini-Henry round to the visor! My present-day triple-threat Safariland kevlar with shock-plate could'nt do that!!:k_confused:

He is simply clothed in a thick, woollen single-breasted pilot’s coat with a built-in shoulder cape and narrow turn-back collar, over a white shirt and scarf neck tie, presumably all brand new and supplied ‘ready-to wear’ by a Sydney outfitter. James Johnson (1837-1915 ) the sole of the Dunbar shipwreck; J.W. Denslow photographed Johnson in a casually seated pose while Freeman Bros. advertised a ‘collodiotype on paper’ (SMH, 29/8/1857, p. 8). For many years after his ordeal, Johnson was the lighthouse keeper at Newcastle and, while in that position, succeeded in saving the lives of others.

Well..... you got it.

James Johnson went from being rescued as the only survivor from a shipwreck in 1857, to being the rescuer of the only survivor from a shipwreck some years later.

Re the "Dunbar", she went down carrying a fortune in cargo. Among other things there was ( according to various sources ) either 10,000 or 50,000 gold sovreigns!!!!!

Since the introduction of Scuba in the 1950s the wreck site was heavily plundered until it was belatedly protected by the Gov't. Now there's just the Ship's ballast and 2 anchors left where she went down.........however given how the wreckage was strewn from Macquarie Lighthouse to Middle Harbour there's a good chance that there's still parts waiting to be discovered, she was a big ship.

However again the site is a mass grave of sorts and should
now be left undisturbed.

Looking forward to your one.:)

[mapuc]

This is first time I do this so have patient with me.

I couldn't have done this without help from a subsim friend(I will not reveal who it is, this person can if this person want to reveal them self)

Ok

What is this ?


Markus

[Aktungbby]

enigma computer?

[Jimbuna]

I've made the image larger for easier viewing purposes Markus but will sit out on this one for obvious reasons.

[Catfish]

It looks like an engine with single cylinder heads, ignition cables and some fuel(?) pipes :hmmm:

[mapuc]

I've made the image larger for easier viewing purposes Markus but will sit out on this one for obvious reasons.

Thank you I tried myself to enlarge the picture. without any success.


Aktungbby. No not an Enigma Computer


Catfish. It is a kind of an engine.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

aircraft engine?

[mapuc]

Aktungbby, no not an aircraft engine.

This engine was very special when it was developed...however it was the only of its kind.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

did it use gasoline?

[mapuc]

Aktungbby No it did not use gasoline.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

alcohol?

[mapuc]

Aktungbby no not alcohol

The fuel, used in this engine was not what most of would have thought of.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

He is getting warmer :03:

[Catfish]

Petroleum? :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

hydrogen?

[mapuc]

Catfish: no not petroleum

Aktungbby: yes Hydrogen

A little help Hydrogen was one of the fuel used in this engine

Markus

[Catfish]

Hmm, a Walter engine? :hmmm:

[mapuc]

Please enlighten me.

Have never heard of this Walter engine and from the pages I have entered incl. wiki, mentioned a lot about aircraft engine, which this engine isn't

Markus

[Catfish]

Walter built several engines and turbines, for special U boats and the Me 163 Komet jet in WW2. The U boats engines were powered by a mixture of Diesel and hydrogen, a first reai AIP engine. But it did not look like the picture you posted..

OT i wanted to apologize for some of my posts where i said one of your posts would be 'idiotic', indeed it was me who was. Sorry.

[mapuc]

That's ok.

Well Hydrogen is one of the fuel used in this engine and the second is not diesel.

Another hint

A word is connected to the word fuel. A word we the human have trillions of in our body.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

water?

[mapuc]

Aktungbby: no not water.

It's something that is all around us and is the lightest.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

not helium?

[mapuc]

Aktungbby: no not helium(that's the second lightest)

Markus

[Catfish]

So hydrogen and oxygen? Fuel cells? :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

hydrogen glucose? https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/25d8/6d81934f9bd2a87980f3f0e5608c26bff5a5.pdf

[mapuc]

Catfish: yes those was the two type of fuel used in this engine
and it used fuel cells

Aktungbby: I can't say yes or no in this case.

Hint

About 99 % of today's engine is build on the principle combustion
This engine used another principle.

(I can tell you I had never heard of it before)

Markus

[Catfish]

ah.. i guess i have found it.
With a vintage car meeting looming ahead at sunday, i have no time, so i'll leave it at that. Very nice riddle! :up:
