Good question, I see where you're headed but no.

[Catfish]

West of Burma *checking map of the world*
Seems i did not pay attention, Burma west of India, must be some 40,000 km west around the world :oops:
Good it did not happen on a ship :timeout:

Clue/Suggestion: Might be better to start off with the continent.

[skidman]

Hm. Africa?

Hm. Africa?

No but that's one down :03:

[Catfish]

According to Wikipedia anyway.

[Aktungbby]

a cathedral?

[Jimbuna]

Close but not a cathedral.

[Aktungbby]

[Jimbuna]

Correct country but wrong place.

[Aktungbby]

A church rather than cathedral, in Cartagena?

[Jimbuna]

The 'church' part is correct.

[skidman]

Santuario de Las Lajas?

Spectacular place!

[Catfish]

^ i also thought of Las Lajas, but by architecture and layout this seems to be a real cathedral and basilika :hmmm:

[skidman]

Hm, Wikipedia says it is a pilgrimage church and a basilica minor. I didn't even know there are ranks to classify Catholic churches :hmmm:

Yes! :D

One cylinder, two-stroke, 49 ccm

[Aktungbby]

Puch and KTM are austrian, so not much left..
Hmm. Kreidler?

[skidman]

@Aktungbby: Hm, carburettor, engine, gearbox, starter and all electrical stuff were German. The exhaust silencer however was Italian made. The noise was hellacious.

@Catfish: A Kreidler, yes.

[Aktungbby]

1977? Built by van Veen?

[skidman]

Later... and not built by van Veen. Man, those are beauties...

[Aktungbby]

then are they less beautiful than van Veen's?:hmmm:

[skidman]

Less beautiful, not "custom made".

[Catfish]

Kreidler 50 'Cross' ?


Could also be the 'Mustang', wheels and fork are almost the same :hmmm:

[skidman]

The Mustang is it. 40 km/h on paper. 45 in real life. 50 with some minor modifications :D.

My younger brother's first vehicle. I had a VW Golf (1, Diesel) and we swapped every other week. The Kreidler was loud, slow, and the gear shift was somewhat sluggish. And we both loved it. Good ol times.

Over to Catfish :salute:

[Catfish]

Van Veen as a main importer of Kreidler really made some beautiful and strange (Wankel-two-disk engine) motorcycles :)
Not sure but may have been the same engine like used in the "Citroen GSA Birotor" :hmmm:

But this Mustang was not one of them.. i remember this was loud!

[Catfish]

Ok, what is this.. you should be used to it lol

Strictly speaking - no.

[Catfish]

Not before WW2

[Jimbuna]

German?

[Catfish]

Strictly speaking(!) - not german.
Not sure how to define this w/o giving it away.
The company name was still german, but it was not built under german authority

[Jimbuna]

American authority?

[Catfish]

Not american.

[Jimbuna]

Russian?

[Catfish]

Russian.

[Jimbuna]

OKB-1 140?

[Catfish]

That is it, a development of the JU 287. German engineer Mr. Baade was tasked to further develop the older Ju into a new model he called the "Brunolf Baade Junkers EF-140" for "Entwicklungsflugzeug", the 'russian' "OKB-1 140" with two Mikulin-engines type AM-1 (2 x 3.300 kp).

The JU 287 with its negative arrowed wings and a similar weight already had a higher performance than the russian IL-28 und Tu-14 jet planes of the time. Travel speed with the original WK-1 engines was hundred miles faster, also its range would have been 500 kilometers longer. Tried-out top speed of the EF-140's predeccessor had been Mach 0,92, and flight beaviour was perfectly controllable up to this. The project was soon buried..

[skidman]

In a church?

[Jimbuna]

Photo or painting? :hmmm:

Neither.

[Jimbuna]

@Jimbuna: is it a tomb?

Had to look that one up because it has so much history and yes it certainly has at least one tomb in it.

[Jimbuna]

In a church?

Excellent question but no not in a church but in something else.

[Aktungbby]

Will have to find something ..:hmmm:

[skidman]

No pettifoggery from this side, but we were told in #12827 that the photo was not taken inside a church. Wikipedia however claims a cathedral "is a church that contains the cathedra (Latin for 'seat') of a bishop" and "a church building, usually Roman Catholic, Protestant (including Anglican), Eastern Orthodox, or Oriental Orthodox".

Just sayin...

It is just for .. landing. Not special for ice or salt or sand. Just to land on ground.

[Aktungbby]

[Catfish]

At first.

[Aktungbby]

You already asked further north "For an aircraft landing in snow" and i answered "Yes, but not necessarily in snow". :O:
So yes it is an aircraft, not an airship.

Then please accept my apologies but I've always thought there was a clear distinction between a church and a cathedral.

Here in the UK every town etc. has at least one church but protocol has always dictated that for somewhere to be a city, there must be a cathedral within its boundaries.

Not sure if that is still the case today though (Sunderland near me having recently been declared to be a city but doesn't have a cathedral).

[Jimbuna]

What is it/to what does it belong?

The landing gear skid of the DFS-346 in extended position?

https://www.48specialmodels.com/e-produkte/e-48-dfs.html

[Catfish]

Congratulations, yes this is it :)

The DFS-346 - DFS for "Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug" ~ "German Institute for Sailplane Flight".

The german experimental never flew with own propulsion, it was only tested as a sail plane. It was planned to add two Walther rocket drives, intended to reach Mach 2 with it. It turned out that the wings did not work well at those speeds (to say at least), whence some modifications..

Here (after the war) it is hanging under a russian B-29 that made an emergency landing in Russia and was not returned. It was repaired and used for such purposes. (OT They then copied the B-29 and created the TU-4, almost the same but with heavier armouring)

https://i.imgur.com/8A1mYxql.jpg


Here it is standing on its 'sled'

https://i.imgur.com/aihMNS7l.jpg



This was some of the russian modifications, it was hard to steer without the wing 'fences'. Later, a lot of russian planes had those fences on the wings to control the air flow, it was another solution than the negative arrowed wings of the JU 287 that had had a similar problem

https://i.imgur.com/dBYvw4Sl.jpg

The rest is all in Jim's Link..

It's use is not for leisure but I don't know when this particular gizmo was invented... in fairly modern times I should think.

CLUE: I truthfully answered 'no' to Jim's specific suggestion that it's an animal transporter. However.... although it isn't used as an animal transporter there are probably times when an animal is carried off in it. That should bust it wide open now :haha:

[Aktungbby]

I wonder, in the early age of moden industrial iron/steel forging metalurgy, which also prbably contributed to the 1912 Titanic disaster, how long those nearly 45 degree canted wheels could have held up in all temperatures on that contraption, rockin' and socken' on an elevated El track monorail? :hmmm::ping::ping:

In the end, most motives are loco !:O: beware of that gleam in the eyes.:haha:
:haha::har:

Ok thanks Skidman, this was a nice one :)

[Catfish]

Maybe no too difficult - What is this?

locomotive?

[Texas Red]

A car?

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby: Yes a loco-motive, i felt inspired by Skidman :D
@the beast: so not a car

[Aktungbby]

European super train?

[Catfish]

^ which? :)

[Aktungbby]

Sweden?

[Catfish]

Not Sweden.

[Aktungbby]

Denmark?

[Catfish]

No.. but closer :03:

hint: the train had a special name, and there were different locomotives used to pull it. But for a lot of people this locomotive was the epitome of this train concept.
The locomotive running gear was also based on a pre war idea that had made some headlines in its time..

So i want the make and model of this locomotive..

[Aktungbby]

German?

[skidman]

I think it is German. :03:

The VT 11.5 Diesel Train, built by MAN? Pure beauty.
