Who / What / Where Game

[Catfish]

Yes, this is it: VT11.5 for the TEE, the Trans Europ Express.
I think it has a "Dieselpunk" - like kind of elegance :D

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

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

Built by MAN (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nuernberg) and designed by architect and industrial designer Klaus Flesche. The body was made of very thin steel and aluminium, the wheel and suspension technics were derived and developed from Kruckenberg's "Schienenzeppelin" from 1930:

Kruckenberg's "Schienenzeppelin" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B16EDYMu-b0)

The VT 11.5 was Diesel driven (two driving unit fore and aft each having 1100 hp) and introduced in 1957. There were a few experiments with Lycoming gas turbines:

https://i.imgur.com/LBH8OAMl.jpg

but they consumed way too much fuel.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_VT_11.5

The machines were built to pull the "Trans Europ Express" which was an international project in Europe beginning in 1954 with each country building its own locomotives (an international train project still lay in the future).

The trains were expected to be able to run at 140 to 160 km/h,
be Diesel driven since a lot of european railways were not yet electrified,
to have a maximum weight of 18 tons per axle,
to "run quiet" at high speeds,
have at least 120 seats and not more than three seats per row,
have a full-equipped kitchen and diner,
rooms for pass and customs control during the trip,
had to be painted in wine-red and beige for the recognition factor.

So Aktungbby was close, but Skidman takes the cake :salute:

[skidman]

I just love those black and white shots of the TEE. Compare that elegance and noblesse to the neglected shower the Deutsche Bahn has become today. It's a shame.

It is the front end of a car not made in France and output figures were so low, production could have taken place in a living room, but actually it came from a small manufacture.

[skidman]

@ Eich: From a constructor's point of view it is very similar to a VW Buggy or "Beach Beetle": A open double-seater built on a metal framework (no integral body like in most modern cars), but this one was a new original design, much faster, more extravagant, a car that made heads turn.

@ Akktungbby: Whoohoo! Perfect timing, perfect result. It is the Shaka Nynya, made by Advanced Automotive Design in Pretoria:

sort of in dire emergencies! Hint: The tail hook was more often replaced by an elongated tail wheel for improved wings' angle-of-attack for shortfield takeoffs.:know:

[Eichhörnchen]

Fieseler Fi-167

[Aktungbby]

Float plane?For emergency landings at sea the Fi 167 could jettison its landing gear, and airtight compartments in the lower wing would help the aircraft stay afloat at least long enough for the two-man crew to evacuate.

sort of in dire emergencies! Hint: The tail hook was more often replaced by an elongated tail wheel for improved wings' angle-of-attack for shortfield takeoffs.:know:

Fieseler Fi-167BINGO!https://subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11537 After that they were sold to Croatia,[2] where their short-field and load-carrying abilities (under the right conditions, the aircraft could descend almost vertically) made it ideal for transporting ammunition and other supplies to besieged Croatian Army garrisons between their arrival in September 1944 and the end of the War. During one such mission, near Sisak on 10 October 1944, an Fi 167 of the Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia was attacked by five North American Mustang Mk IIIs of No. 213 Squadron RAF. The crew of the Fieseler had the distinction of shooting down one of the Mustangs before itself being shot down—possibly one of the last biplane "kills" of the war.[3]http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/aviation/carrierbased/fi167/index.html OVER 2U EICHBBY!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Jimbuna]

At one point I was thinking Stuka :doh:

[Aktungbby]

Stuka's didn't have an upper wing!:Kaleun_Wink: One wonders, given the success of the essentially outdated biplane Swordfish's success against the Bismark, that the Kreigsmarine's intended carrier GrafZeppelin, for which the F1 Feiseler was designed, would have made a real strategic difference...or simply been 'hunted to destruction' like the Bismark by a chubby ex "First Sea Lord". The primary air power concept of the Reich was flawed from the start: the limitations imposed at Versaiiles; and it was primarily intended as a Heer support, for a swift European continental land war and not a strategic long range affair incl. subduing the RAF. England, in terms of Operation Sealion, time over target for ME 109 fighter support to subdue the RAF was simply a "channel too far" w/o "strategic" four-engine airfleets. Hitler said it best: "At sea, I am a coward"...So England reposed fitfully behind her briney moats. Ie: if your infantry support Stuka is doing a 1 bomb flying artillery sorty whilst your Lancastrian opponent is blasting your remaining Tirpitz in a fjord and principle cities with the 'cookie" Tallboy bomb'....you ain't gonna win the war!

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby:
You are not wrong, but the allied propaganda always stresses how Hitler wanted to conquer the world. They had already said that of Kaiser William, in WW1 :03:
I guess Russia was enough, and the latter would have probably won the war against Germany alone in the long run (see Hitler-Mannerheim recordings).

re the Fieseler, i had not heard much about this Fieseler 167 carrier plane, although the "Storch" was a phantastic plane.
I also had thought of a JU 87 "Stuka" first, but tail and rear open canopy along with the biplane design did not fit..

Public toilet?

[Jimbuna]

A brothel?

LOL no but I must admit I've been to a couple whilst residing in Holland and I can assure you it was only an accompanying role with a mate because the bars and movies on view are usually pretty good.

[Jimbuna]

A hospital?

Going by the picture I'd say not as big but frequented by a regular influx of people I should imagine.

Public toilet?

A fait bit bigger than that but also accessed by the public.

Clue: This building stands out above all others around it.

[skidman]

A casino?

[mapuc]

I wonder if it's a religious temple like a Buddhist temple.

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

A stadium?

[Aktungbby]

[Jimbuna]

A casino?

Not a casino but giving a big clue here....you would find casinos in some buildings of this type.

[Jimbuna]

I wonder if it's a religious temple like a Buddhist temple.

Nothing to do with religion but the two picture clues are of a Chinese God.

[Jimbuna]

I'm running out of clues for fear of giving the answer away but the God I have referenced to is Shou.

Believe me that is yet another big clue but I have already stated it may not be possible to solve this one but by guessing the purpose of the building would probably lead to a quick successful answer.

Luigi Colani Horch Mega Roadster?

https://i.postimg.cc/hvTZF8xt/76621a71c1745d7ec638810bd4e4be92.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Catfish]

^ Yes! The Colani "Horch Mega Roadster" from 1996. His real german name being Lutz Kulani, he changed it for a more streamligned "designer" name :D
The company "Horch" built big, representative cars like Maybach or Mercedes at the time. Later there was a fusion between Audi, DKW, Horch and the Wanderer company. The founder of Audi also had the name "Horch" but was not allowed to use it because another company named Horch already existed, so they called it latin "Audi" for "horch!" or "listen!".
The four companies then merged and gave themselves the name "Auto Union AG", later just called "Audi".

Colani's ancestors had been producers of clothing, also for military purposes. The special coats and jackets of the german Kriegsmarine were usually called Kulanis (as you can also read in "Das Boot"), or sometimes Kolanis..

Colani created quite some car designs, but few were turned into real series in Europe, but he still is a star in Japan. He died in 2019..

This 'roadster' falls into a similar category as his "Aiglon" from 1976 .. Some photos of the Mega roadster:

It most certainly is and the next clue of a connection with The Dambusters would surely have given it away.

[Eichhörnchen]

The 'industrial' clue was the giveaway... I'd already decided it wasn't so very old, as you know from my deletion :)

https://i.imgur.com/HzZHSX9.jpg So what's this and where is it?

[skidman]

A timber wood construction?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Yes indeed

[Jimbuna]

Chimney?

[skidman]

Windmill?

[Eichhörnchen]

While I was logging on just now I suddenly realised I made a big, big mistake: putting a windmill on here with a Dutchman!! I saw it on a pal's Facebook page this morning and thought "That'll keep them guessing, that will"

Your ball, skidman :salute::har:

Oh Eich! You've given it away too soon! :wah: We could now travel on the long and winding road to Worthing. :haha:

And what is this? (A "where" might be too ambitious here)

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this architecture?

[skidman]

Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

A view of something in the household?

[Aktungbby]

is it copper?

[Catfish]

A funnel?

[Jimbuna]

Distillery?

[skidman]

@ Eich: Nope not in the household

@ Aktungbby: Yes, made of copper

@ Catfish: Somehow the same operation, but no.

@ From the moment I uploaded the pic I thought: "This could be one for the Chief of the Boat. Guess why. :haha: :03:

Pot stills of the Blair Athol Distillery near Pitlochry. The 12year old (Flora&Fauna) is one of my favorite non-island malts.

Over to Master Jim :salute:

Been to Pitlochry but not the distillery.

I still remember the piper at one end of the bridge.

[Jimbuna]

Apologies, not the best photo but what is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/h4584Xg1/hhhhhhhh.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Aktungbby]

Plane?

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Catfish]

british two-engined jet?

[skidman]

1950s?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Jimbuna]

Smaller

[Catfish]

[Jimbuna]

Civilian?

Military but never tested in combat.

[skidman]

Hawker P.1081?

[Jimbuna]

Hawker P.1081?

Vrij dichtbij was dat.

Pretty close was that.

[Catfish]

The Hunter?

and yes, the photo is very bad :D

[Jimbuna]

Not a Hunter but I've just looked this manufacturer up and was astonished at the number and types of aircraft they made.

[skidman]

Hawker P.1072?

As you wrote: A lot of Hawkers from the early post WW2 era around...

[Jimbuna]

Not a Hawker.

Two clues: Another picture and keep in mind I've taken the colour out for what will eventually be an obvious reason.

[Catfish]

Aerobatic team?

But it can't be the Red arrows, founded later in the sixties. hmm.

[Jimbuna]

Good guess but the colour wasn't red.

Clue: This aircraft from inception/building to retirement was less than ten years.

[Aktungbby]

Saunders-Roe SR 53?

[Catfish]

DH Vampire?

edit no, shock strut does not match. But i am running out of ideas :haha:

[Jimbuna]

Saunders-Roe SR 53?

Not that but it is certainly British.

[Jimbuna]

DH Vampire?

edit no, shock strut does not match. But i am running out of ideas :haha:

Not the Vampire.

Clue: This aircraft was fitted with one of the first fully powered control systems, hydraulically driven with electrical trim tab.

[Eichhörnchen]

Well I've searched through both volumes of Argus's "Post War Jets" as well as their hardback "British Experimental Jet Aircraft" with no luck. Was it from DeHavilland?

[Catfish]

Boulton Paul P.111 ?
but the wheel and strut does not match as well :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not but that book should surely have the aircraft in it.

You got her Kai but look at the picture below.

Over to you :salute:

[Catfish]

I was looking for the front wheel tucked in this far :wah:
... but it is the right rear wheel shown on the photo, not the front one. This really fooled me, well played :haha:

edit Next guess would have been the Provost, but even there the front strut does not look like the rear wheel here

[Catfish]

ok what's this?

https://i.imgur.com/j5pCQSUm.jpg

[mapuc]

A nosewheel

Markus

[skidman]

German?

[Eichhörnchen]

I was looking for the front wheel tucked in this far :wah:
... but it is the right rear wheel shown on the photo, not the front one. This really fooled me

Me too; only the BP P120 (developed from the P111) is shown in the book... and is photographed from exactly the same angle... and I still didn't spot it! Plus all the photos in the book are b&w :timeout:

As for your photo, Catfish... this is clearly the nosewheel of an Me262

[Catfish]

@Mapuc Yes a nosewheel, but to which plane does it belong?

@Skidman Yes, german.

This really had a twist.. i think you must have been very close already. It was only the hint with the powered controls that led me to it..

As for your photo, Catfish... this is clearly the nosewheel of an Me262No.. though now it should be easy :D

[Jimbuna]

I thought as much :)

[Jimbuna]

The Bf 110?

[Catfish]

@ Jim not a BF 110.
Mapuc asked about a nose wheel and i had agreed.. im almost sure all BF 110 versions were taildraggers.

It is a nose wheel with a twist :03:

[Jimbuna]

WWII era?

[Eichhörnchen]

Heinkel He-280?

[Catfish]

@Jim yes, WW2

@Eichhörnchen A Heinkel, yes, but not the 280.
It was quite advanced and featured two - for Germany of the time - unique features.

[Jimbuna]

The 219?

[Catfish]

^ Yes, the He 219 "Uhu" (~Owl, pronounced Oo-hoo in german like the sound the bird makes)

The first "real" night fighter being built for this purpose. The story of the german night fighters seems to be a largely untold one, maybe because the allies still seem not to know why they won the war. Hint: It was not the night bombing campaigns.

Here the photo from where i copied the detail, as a US prize after the war:


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

The unique features were the nose wheel (the 219 being the first ever german plane to be equipped with such, it had to turn/twist during retracting to fit under the cockpit), and the ejection seats for pilot and navigator. It also had a pressurized cockpit and efficient heating system.

https://i.imgur.com/809uSIll.jpg


It seems to have been quite a good plane from pilot's reports, there was almost a rebellion by night fighter pilots and their leaders, because Mr. Milch (being his usual daft egomanic self) tried to hinder the production since he favoured the BF 110 G in the night fighter role. He even tried to bribe Ernst Heinkel to stop production of the 219 :doh:
The pilots that flew the 219 had a different opinion, from speed to manouverability, to armament and the rear radar.

So only around 250 have been built, they first flew in 1943 and then until the end of the war, with some types being lightened to hunt night fighter Mosquitos. As usual at the time, too little and - if not too late - hindered by the own government.

This is quite a good story about the He 219 (in english):
