The Dinnie Stones.

https://i.postimg.cc/65M9xwT7/dinnie-stones-potarch.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

The Dinnie Stones are a pair of Scottish lifting stones located in Potarch, Aberdeenshire. They were made famous by strongman Donald Dinnie, who reportedly carried the stones barehanded across the width of the Potarch Bridge, a distance of 17 ft 1.5 in, in 1860. They remain in use as lifting stones.

[Aktungbby]

BINGO! TOO EASY! Did U u try to lift them yersel or just have a beer at the Old Potarch?:Kaleun_Cheers: I 'dinnae' ken I cud!:O:Rediscovered by David Webster OBE in 1953, The Dinnie Steens as they are known locally are 2 giant granite boulders located outside the Old Potarch Hotel between Aboyne & Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Together they weigh 332.49Kg or 733Lbs in old money. The 'smaller' of the stones weighs 144.47kg (318.5lbs) and the larger a massive 188.02kg (414.5lbs).

Legendary Scottish strongman Donald Dinnie was born at Birse by Aboyne in 1837, the son of stonemason, Robert Dinnie. Donald Dinnie was the world's first sporting superstar and achieved international fame from his exploits around the world.

In the 1830’s huge iron rings were attached to the stones so that they could act as counterweights for scaffolding during the maintenance of Potarch Bridge.

Now ordinary folk would struggle to lift even the smallest Dinnie Stone, however in 1860 Donald Dinnie famously carried them both with his bare hands across the width of Potarch Bridge – a distance of 17' 1 1/2"!!

The challenge went unanswered for over 100 years until 1972, when Belfast man Jack Shanks, weighing just 11 1/2 stone, successfully hoisted the giant boulders with his bare hands. He returned the following year and walked himself into the history books by recreating Dinnie's feat and proving to the world that it could be done. Few have successfully lifted both Dinnie Stones unassisted over the years since Dinnie, showing just how difficut a task it is. Carrying them unassisted remains the Ultimate challenge!

To date the Dinnie Stones have only ever been lifted and carried over the distance barehanded by 7 men:- Donald's father Robert Dinnie (according to Donald's own account), Donald Dinnie himself in 1860 then Jack Shanks in 1973. Pro Strong Man competitor Mark Felix successfully completed the challenge at the Aboyne Games in 2014. On August the 6th at The Gathering Brian Irwin from Belfast, Northern Ireland and Mark Haydock from Preston, England added their names to the history books by successfully carrying the Steens across Potarch Bridge. Pete Seddon is the latest to add his name to the list by successfully carrying the stones across Potarch Bridge on 18th April 2018.

In recent times two modern era challenges have emerged. One is to lift and hold the stones for time. This was first introduced at the Aboyne Hughland Games in August 2016 by Drs Terry & Jan Todd and David Webster OBE. The first holder of the record was James Gardner with a very impressive 12.8 seconds. This has been pushed out to an incredible 46.2 seconds by Mark Haydock. A further challenge to evolve has been to pick the stones up in a farmers walk style and walk as far as possible without seting them down. This record is currently held by 4 time World's Strongest Man & 3 time Arnold Strongman Classic winner, Brian Shaw at 11 feet 6.5 inches.

The Potarch Hotel was closed for renovations in 2013 and the Steens were held in care by the Aboyne Highland Games committee. Renovations are now complete and in August 2016 the Steens were returned to their historical home in the new Potarch Cafe & Restaurant where they can now be seen and enjoyed by strength athletes the world over.

[Jimbuna]

[COLOR="Lime"]BINGO! TOO EASY! Did U u try to lift them yersel or just have a beer at the Old Potarch?:Kaleun_Cheers: I 'dinnae' ken I cud!

Oh yes, I used to lift them regularly, in fact each time I went to the bar or the toilet even :smug:

https://i.postimg.cc/QCJjtKsD/liaranimatedanimationli-1.gif (https://postimages.org/)

I'll have a look for something a tad more cunning :03:

[Jimbuna]

What is this? Name please.

https://i.ibb.co/89fLhch/INS-Kharg-alongside-Walker-Naval-Yard-1982.jpg (https://imgbb.com/)

[Aktungbby]

Is it a British cargo ship?

[Jimbuna]

Not British.

[Aktungbby]

is it famous?

[Jimbuna]

is it famous?

If you are interested in military matters I'd sayyes.

Clue: Built in the UK but not for Britain.

[Buddahaid]

Built for the IJN like the Kongo?

[Aktungbby]

does it still exist?

[Jimbuna]

Built for the IJN like the Kongo?

Not for Japan.

Clue: Built in the seventies.

[Jimbuna]

does it still exist?

Most definitely. See clue above.

[Aktungbby]

is the ship armed?

[Jimbuna]

is the ship armed?

Not at time of building but soon after being handed over.

Clue: This vessel was the subject of much controversy during her construction.

[Catfish]

To Romania? :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

To Romania? :hmmm:

Not to Romania but here is a MASSIVE clue: I watched her being built on an almost daily basis in the seventies.

[Eichhörnchen]

I can only find reference to tankers being built on Tyneside in the 70s... was it a tanker?

[Catfish]

I have no clue at all.
A civilian ship, being exported and armed right after this by another nation.. does not look like a tanker, but - no idea.

Sunderland built?

[Jimbuna]

I can only find reference to tankers being built on Tyneside in the 70s... was it a tanker?

Yes and FYI there were other types than just tankers built but I do agree the majority were tankers.

Clue:It could well be on the list below.

http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/Swan-Group.html

[Jimbuna]

I have no clue at all.
A civilian ship, being exported and armed right after this by another nation.. does not look like a tanker, but - no idea.

Sunderland built?

Next river northwards Kai, the Tyne and built by the Swan Hunter Group.

[Catfish]

Hmm only that comes close would be the Kharg, sold to Iran.. but it alrady had at least one gun, before delivery in the 1980ies :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Hmm only that comes close would be the Kharg, sold to Iran.. but it alrady had at least one gun, before delivery in the 1980ies :hmmm:

Spot on Kai but it was not fitted with the 76mm OTO Melara until 1993 having had the gun removed prior to delivery.

Ordered by the Government of Iran prior to the revolution of 02/1979
1980: Armament of 1 x 76mm gun removed before delivery
Capable of carrying 2 x helicopters with hangar facilities
1984: Delivery delayed due to Iraq-Iran War
1993: Re-armed with 1 x 76mm, 2 x 2 x 23mm guns
http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/K-Ships/kharg1980.html

after the UK government approved her export without any armaments on the grounds that she is "not suitable for use in the war against Iraq".

Over to you Sir :salute:

[Catfish]

After all your hints even i was able to find it :haha:
Interesting story, i also had another one but that was a tanker and built 1981, so .. god they really build a lot there :o

Thanks, will look for something new this evening (GMT)

[Jimbuna]

Only one yard open now with approximately 25 employees but have built in excess of 1,600 vessels in all.

[Aktungbby]

The Kharg! I knew I'd seen this but couldn't place it. Nice one Kai!:salute:

[Catfish]

Only one yard open now with approximately 25 employees but have built in excess of 1,600 vessels in all.
Phew.. it has all shifted to China ? :06:

[Catfish]

Ok i found one, had a hard time finding something that google image search would not instantly find :wah:

Name of this, please.

https://i.imgur.com/mDiSP5yl.jpg

[Jimbuna]

A ship?

[Catfish]

Yes.
But you will hate me.

[Buddahaid]

Titanic filming model?

[Catfish]

No, not the Titanic

[Aktungbby]

Is it reaL?

[Catfish]

The ship shown did not exist, it is in a film.

[Buddahaid]

Poseidon.

[Catfish]

No! :03:

I only saw "Poseidon" decades after it came out, was a great idea for a film!

[Aktungbby]

A german film?

[Catfish]

No :03:

[mapuc]

Is it from a disaster movie ?

Markus

[Catfish]

No, i would not say that.

The photo is not from the ship sinking, but sink it does at the end. But comparing it to one of those disaster movies.. no.

[Aktungbby]

built by Nordseewerke?

[Catfish]

No, it was not "built". As mentioned before it is a fictional ship in a film (see post (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2708217&postcount=13533)). I would have to google if this fictional ship was mentioned to be built by the "Nordseewerke" in the film, but not afaik.

[mapuc]

Thinking:

It's from a movie, not a disaster movie, which remove some cult movies.

So we have to pin-point it down.

So let start with the decades it was shown in the cinemas.

Is the movie from this side of 2000 ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Is the movie from this side of 2000 ? Markus
No.. Last century, even last millenium :)

[mapuc]

70's ?

Markus

[Catfish]

70's ? Markus
Next decade..

[Aktungbby]

No, it was not "built". As mentioned before it is a fictional ship in a film (see post (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2708217&postcount=13533)). I would have to google if this fictional ship was mentioned to be built by the "Nordseewerke" in the film, but not afaik.so the ship was completely computer generated? In the TV series "The Love Boat" for example, the show's ship was an actual vessel, built by Nordseewerke. It was eventually broken up in Turkey. Your photo looks like a real vessel.:hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Not in the eighties as they would have used a filming model for that level of detail shown in the photo.

I'm not coming up with any actual ocean liners used for films that have that apparent bridge structure, but filming models of large ships almost always find a bad end so I'm at "sea".

Gojira?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ne_O5LRL9E

[Aktungbby]

I'm at "sea" U mean asea? :arrgh!:

[Jimbuna]

So the film was made in the 80's?

[Catfish]

so the ship was completely computer generated? In the TV series "The Love Boat" for example, the show's ship was an actual vessel, built by Nordseewerke. It was eventually broken up in Turkey. Your photo looks like a real vessel.:hmmm:
Not a real vessel, and not computer generated as far as i know, all models, film tricks and such. But the vessel has a name, in the film. I do not know if there ever was a real ship with that name but i do not think so.

@Buddahaid: The level of detail of that ship is not too high, or lets say only partially, some scenes. It represents an ocean liner with a bridge and all that belongs to it alright.
Not from Gojira.

@Jim: Film was shot in the 80ies, yes.

If anyone quotes the last sentence in the film, i would also declare him to be the winner. But getting the name of the ship is easier i think :D

[Jimbuna]

Yes.
But you will hate me.

This has me intrigued :hmmm:

[Catfish]

Maybe a hint is in order :hmmm:

The story takes place during WW1.

[Aktungbby]

Lusitania?

[Catfish]

Not the "Lusitania", the ship in the film (as the whole story) is purely fictional, and so is the ship's name.

[Aktungbby]

American film production?

[Buddahaid]

Is the movie Moonzund?

[Jimbuna]

As good a guess as any. I've absolutely no idea.

[Buddahaid]

I have another idea but have to wait.

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby: Not an american production

@Buddahaid: Not "Moonzund", but this film seems to be interesting :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Now I'm thinking the movie Gallipoli. Last line something like "Run like a leopard...."

[Jimbuna]

"Life is wonderful." ?

[Catfish]

"Life is wonderful." ?
No.
Never heard of this one, don't find it on the 'net either :hmmm:

edit: or did you mean "Life is beautiful", by Begnini ? No.

[Jimbuna]

No.
Never heard of this one, don't find it on the 'net either :hmmm:

Virus (1980 film)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus_(1980_film)

[Catfish]

No, not "Virus".

[Jimbuna]

A cartoon?

[Buddahaid]

Now I'm thinking the movie Gallipoli. Last line something like "Run like a leopard...."

I didn't see an answer to this stab.

[Catfish]

No, with real actors, though scenes look intentionally artificial, only to give the spectator an idea. It is a very unusual film, i think it has also been transferred to the theatre. It is not meant seriously and has a lot of funny moments.

[Catfish]

Now I'm thinking the movie Gallipoli. Last line something like "Run like a leopard...."
Sorry overlooked that, no not Gallipoli.

It is more of a satirical "art" film.

[Buddahaid]

Does this by chance have anything to do with Gerry Anderson?

[Catfish]

No, nothing afaik. It is also not a british production.

[mapuc]

Now we now when it was made and shown in the cinemas(80's)

Next step is category.

Is it an action movie ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Not an action movie.

[mapuc]

Drama ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Yes, it is described as that. But with a wink, with some funny and bizarre scenes :03:

[Catfish]

Big hint:
Made by one of the most famous film directors.

[skidman]

"Did you know, that a rhinoceros gives very good milk?"

[Aktungbby]

SS Virginian from movie The Legend of 1900?

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby: Not the "SS Virginian", but this film was heading in the right direction :03::up:

"Did you know, that a rhinoceros gives very good milk?"
You, again! :nope:
Well done!
I thought i could get this going on forever :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Yes, that's it! "E la nave va", by Fellini.
Terrific film by Frederico Fellini, from 1983. An italian-french co-production filmed in the Cinecitta studios near Rome. I love it :D

[Buddahaid]

I really thought you had it, following your questions :)

@Skidman That was nice, how did you find it? Just curious.


The new riddle: A musical instrument?

[Jimbuna]

A musical instrument?

[skidman]

@Skidman That was nice, how did you find it? Just curious.


Because of the cartoon-like impression of the picture I thought it had to be a film from the late 60s or early 70s. When it turned out to be an 80s art house style production Fellini seemed very likely. Nice one :up:


@ Catfish and Jimbuna: Yes, a musical instrument!

[Jimbuna]

A wind instrument-horn?

[skidman]

Yes.

[Buddahaid]

Sousaphone.

Yep, a raincatcher. :up:

Over to Budda:salute:

[Buddahaid]

Okay then.

What is this?
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/922/iybul7.png

[Aktungbby]

1940's?

[Buddahaid]

Considerably older.

[Jimbuna]

Vice Admiral Popov?

[Buddahaid]

Not specifically but close enough to maybe count as a yes?

[Aktungbby]

predreadnaught Slava?

[Buddahaid]

predreadnaught Slava?

That's a definite no.

[Aktungbby]

vitse admiral popov monitor...history's worst battleship?

[Buddahaid]

Vice Admiral Popov?

Again not specifically but close.

[Jimbuna]

Novgorod?

[Buddahaid]

That's it.

[Jimbuna]

That's it.

I presume your clue was taken from this picture.

https://i.postimg.cc/2j2PTQSh/unnamed.jpg (https://postimg.cc/PNv358Z5)

Yes

[Buddahaid]

HMS Renown?

[Jimbuna]

HMS Renown?

Not a capital ship.

[Aktungbby]

Is it armed?

[Jimbuna]

Is it armed?

Most Definitely.

Clue: Royal Navy.

[Catfish]

Looks quite 'high', storey-wise, for a non-capital ship :hmmm:

WW2?

Clue: Don't be fooled by the picture, tis a close up.

[Buddahaid]

Merchant raider?

[Jimbuna]

Looks quite 'high', storey-wise, for a non-capital ship :hmmm:

WW2?

WW2

[Jimbuna]

Merchant raider?

Much smaller.

[Catfish]

Some kind of monitor?

[Jimbuna]

Some kind of monitor?

Smaller

Clue: A greyhound of the sea

[u crank]

So a destroyer?

[Catfish]

Corvette?

[Aktungbby]

HMAS Anzac? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/HMAS_Anzac_%28AWM_P00271-001%29.jpg!

Carry on Kai, I doubt anyone hereabouts thinks your nothing other than a man of honour.

Further clues would have ended it quickly anyway eg. Built on the Tyne. Her skipper being a member of the royal family who was murdered later in life etc.

[Aktungbby]

My sole purpose in life is to lead Kai(or Skidmann) to ''the promised land'' so he takes it... plus i was jus' shooting in the dark anyway and didn't count all the ports!

art in bus stations!

[Catfish]

@Jim, thanks, this is high praise
[...] Had a great day with the granddaughter so I'll take your second guess :03: [...]
Thanks to your granddaughter who "saved" me :up:
My sole purpose in life is to lead Kai(or Skidmann) to ''the promised land'' [...]
:haha: You are good in your own right, don't downplay it!

Eich should do some serious exhibitions, "military art at bus stop stations" does not live up to his capabilities. Though I would like to see such things publicly :hmmm:
And "HMS Kelly sunk at Crete", yes. I learned a lot about this ship due to this thread, it seems she had even be torpedoed before in 1940 and repaired, if it is the same ship. A shame to suvive all this and then .. "In which we serve".

[Catfish]

Thanks to Jim and Aktung.. something:

An animal

[Aktungbby]

That ear :hmmm: that mane .....:hmmm: a lion?

[Aktungbby]

A shame to suvive all this and then .. "In which we serve". The Duke/Viceroy is one thing; I just take note of boatboy Paul Maxwell age 15 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/media/images/83019000/jpg/_83019926_maxwell2.jpg who was also killed....being a dutiful boatboy in my own right goin' on 8 years now...tends to alter your perspective. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11613

[Catfish]

That ear :hmmm: that mane .....:hmmm: a lion?
Not a lion.
Hint: But he ain't lion if he stated he belongs to the greater family of those.

[Jimbuna]

A cat?

Oh and yes, she is the same ship that was torpedoed. On the night 9 May/10 May 1940, during the Battle of Norway, Kelly was torpedoed amidships by the German E-boat S 31, under command of Oberleutnant zur See Hermann Opdenhoff (for which action Oblt.z.S. Opdenhoff was awarded the Knight's Cross). Severely damaged, she was taken under tow by the tug Great Emperor and for four days she was attacked by E-boats and bombers as she struggled back to port at three knots.

[Catfish]

Belonging to Felidae, yes a cat.

[Jimbuna]

African Wild Cat?

https://i.postimg.cc/bvhQtmd1/images.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Catfish]

No.

[Jimbuna]

A domestic cat type?

[Catfish]

No, wild.
It is said some have been tamed "in a way", one of those was an engineer of the Graf Goetzen.

[Aktungbby]

an african cat species?

[Catfish]

Yes sorry, i just saw that Jim asked for an african wild cat, so yes it is an african cat species (so a "wild cat", but none of the smaller wild cats of Africa as seen on Jim's photo, whose descendants live in Europe as domestic cats nowadays).

(OT I always talk of "our guest with migration background", which of course refers to our non-trustworthy house-tom-cat and his african ancestors). Those immigrants are eating us out of house and home i tell you.

[Jimbuna]

Found in Tanzania?

[Catfish]

^ Yes, but not only.
Edit: yes also in Tanzania. Must be, if one of the german engineers "adopted" one.

[Catfish]

Hey this should be easy by now, it is all in this thread. Literally :O:

[Aktungbby]

well:hmmm: in looking up nine species of Tanzanian cats incl. Genets, the only one that comes close with wispy 'mane' and rounded as opposed to pointy Serval ears, is the East African subspecies of cheetah.

[Catfish]

Congratulations!

And it was here all the time ...:
