I struggled to answer that correctly. In the end I had to go with this. The external fuel tank supplied fuel to the engines on the orbiter vehicle, not to the solid fuel boosters. I have never heard of the orbiter being referred to as a rocket even though it had rocket engines. Frankly I thought the color would give it away much sooner.

There seems to have been quite some battling in the mint of the time, with some people trying to move Longacre out of the business :hmmm:

edit: Ah, it is "Dixon's Coin", indeed submarine-related – found in the CSS Hunley!

The Legend
According to legend, Hunley Captain George Dixon was given a $20 gold coin by his sweetheart when he left for war. During the Battle of Shiloh, Dixon was shot. The bullet struck the coin in his trouser pocket, absorbing the impact of the shot and sparing his life. Countless legends are born during war, but few are ever proven. For 137 years, no one knew whether the story was a historical fact or a romantic tale passed from generation to generation.

A Legend Becomes Reality
During the excavation of the Hunley, a gold coin minted in 1860 was discovered lying on Dixon’s hip bone. It was warped from the impact of a bullet, and traces of lead were discovered on the coin. One side bears the image of Lady Liberty, and the other has been sanded and inscribed" Shiloh
April 6th 1862 My life Preserver G. E. D."

https://www.hunley.org/artifacts/

^ Really interesting and worth reading :up:

[Jimbuna]

Spot on Kai and thank the Lord :yeah:

Sorry @Aktungbby, I thought it was enough to identify the type of coin, and when and where it was made, but this unfolding story of the finding, the civil war legend of blocking a bullett and the submarine context with the CSS Hunley and Dixon gets of course much further than this :salute:

[Aktungbby]

INDEED given him by Queeny Bennet, his 17 year old lady. He gave her an engraved locket in return: surely such a pair must have had a chocolate or two.:arrgh!: As for the money involved: the reward for anyone sinking a Charleston blockade ship such as the USS Housatonic was set at $50,000 dollars over a million in today's value. Hence the inspiration by W.L Hunley et al to build a very advanced reduction-geared schnorkel-equipped hydro dynamic submersible. The schnorkel was found not extended. After his close encounter at Shiloh
Lt Dixon he had it inscribed http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/images/coin_articles/LT_DIXON_GOLD_COIN/DixonRear.jpg Considering my own shattered left hip/fermur on 4/6/1981 :nope: in a gun cleaning accident restoring a WWII .380 Luftwaffe Beretta relic pistol, with a resultant steel pin surgery; I could have used a coin in my own pocket!:k_confused: http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/images/coin_articles/LT_DIXON_GOLD_COIN/Jacobsencoin.jpg OVER TO CATFISH officially!:haha: He's passed the true:subsim:er test!:O::Kaleun_Salute:

The other question that begs is the mistake in history crediting the Dutch for inventing the 'snuiver' or schnorkel device used by U-boats...clearly a desperate Confederate concept:https://www.hunley.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Tube1.jpg:hmmm: with the candle lit and the blue phosphorous lamp, https://www.vernianera.com/Hunley/images/lamp-side.jpg signaling success" :"start bonfires to navigate back home" in the heavy tidal current, seen by witnesses on shore and a crewman aboard the stricken Housatonic; all consuming precious oxygen good for approx. two hours of cranking by 7 grown men, the issue is of great importance. I'll have a post on the 17th, the date of the Hunley's sinking, with a better theory of the sinking.... after the first successful submarine attack in history https://www.hunley.org/lost-hunley-crews-air-circulation-system-may-not-have-been-functioning-the-night-the-submarine-vanished/ ^ Thanks, this is really a fascinating story, if not for Dixon and the Hunley's crew!

I watch original episodes every night on channel 25 to alleviate 'lockdown fever' The only thing i could think of 'bigger' than a space pod would be the 'spaceshuttle'; and I had recently seen: "Metamorphosis", the Galileo is forced to land on an unknown planet. Unable to discern a cause of the shuttle's malfunction, Spock meets with Zephram Cochrane (Glenn Corbett), who explains that a dampening field on the planet is preventing the shuttle from working. When Spock continues in his attempts to repair the shuttle, Cochrane's non-corporeal "Companion" (voiced by Elizabeth Rogers) destroys his equipment and damages the vessel. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) tries to convince the Companion to let them leave, but it merges with a human and loses its powers – repairing the shuttle in the process. What a relief; no Aricept needed....as yet!:O:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Leonard_Nimoy_Mr._Spock_Star_Trek.JPG/220px-Leonard_Nimoy_Mr._Spock_Star_Trek.JPG ie:"Pure Logic!!??

U wouldn't have it raised in an attack on a type XXI as the extended snorkel pipes would break above 6 knots (out of top speed of 15 knots which would cause the scopes to vibrate as well:timeout:); the headaches from eardrum difficulties to crew, diesel fumes,:Kaleun_Sick: and the engine sounds would negate the use of hydro phones.

[Buddahaid]

The Tu-95 was the first thing I thought of for a turboprop with those little windows not unlike the B-58 crew windows.

Um, no?

[Aktungbby]

Convair F106 Delta Dart?

[Buddahaid]

Convair F106 Delta Dart?

Yes! Well I thought that would take a few tries but no. The LVAC rules again.

[Aktungbby]

Nonsense I looked up the tail number 80797; and it's practically the first one in a slew of birds from Cessnas on up with the same #. I knew it was Calif. Air National Guard from college ROTC in the '70's. I just got the same Golden Bear on my two -day old CA realID driver License!

[d@rk51d3]

And the "Dart" was a model of Goggo. :up:

[Buddahaid]

And the "Dart" was a model of Goggo. :up:

Please expand on that as I can't link it.

Well I didn't search that number outside of California 80797 and it led nowhere so I messed up.

[Aktungbby]

https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.VB4Q3_AdjBrpmcKrkojvJwHaEF?pid=ImgDet&rs=1 The Australian Goggo Dart car As soon as d@rk51d3 gave me the hint I was on the scent. I'll have sumpin' in a jiff...

[Aktungbby]

...jiff: what is this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11798 Big hint: I own one and actually have brass shells for it!

[Buddahaid]

It's a firearm.

[Aktungbby]

yup.

[d@rk51d3]

percussion cap starters pistol?

[Buddahaid]

Looks like a break barrel and almost a lever action, even hints of a flintlock. Hmmmm.....

[Aktungbby]

percussion cap starters pistol?yer half right

Looks like a break barrel and almost a lever action, even hints of a flintlock. Hmmmm.....it is a break barrel with lever action...

[Jimbuna]

Sharps 1874 Buffalo Gun?

[Aktungbby]

Nope, Considerably shorter and issued in 1861; I have a similar short model type in a Sharps as well though:hmmm: ( at my age, I'm no Quigley!):haha:

[Jimbuna]

Springfield Model 1861?

[Aktungbby]

Nope

[Buddahaid]

Steven's Crackshot Model 26?

[Aktungbby]

Nope. Not a .22. The weapon in the puzzle is military issue, fired a 'cannelured
round, Minie pure-lead bullet with utterly devastating results to any recipient on the battlefields of the 1860's. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Minie_ball_design_harpers_ferry_burton.jpg Big hint; this would have been required equipment for the warrior carrying the weapon... https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IvoAAOSw-1ZcdWnb/s-l1600.jpg

Speaking of tail numbers, you can find a very detailed list of them at:

http://joebaugher.com/

Just page down and select Army/Air Force, Navy/Marines, or Coast Guard.

These are long lists based on aircraft type and year (the year refers to when the aircraft was ordered, not built). Joe's "hit-to-miss" ratio is very high although there are some slight errors, but they are very rare. :up:

[Jimbuna]

Pattern 1861 Enfield musketoon?

[Aktungbby]

Nope but your getting warmer, The musketoon doesn't break open. I wish i'd bought the one that was offered when I got my Two band Enfield> https://i2.wp.com/regtqm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/GUN-050-2T.jpg?fit=250%2C42&ssl=1 Here's another shot of this puzzle>https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11807 BIG HINT: the troops did not like this weapon as the round casing tended to jam in the breech when fired.

[u crank]

Sharps 1853 carbine, .52 Caliber?

[Aktungbby]

nope you're getting warm go up .02 calibre; The Sharps breech lowers to load, the weapon I'm posting 'breaks' to load. Both are single shot weapons. My own .45-70 round Shiloh Sharps ciarbine is a superior weapon to the puzzle: easier to load and no jamming on extraction...especially when on a fractious horse in a re-enactment.

[Jimbuna]

M1861?

[u crank]

Gallager carbine?

[Aktungbby]

Bingo! It is the Gallagher carbine, the leather ring would hold the barrel to the saddle while slung to the rider by the clip-on to the carbine ring to prevent loss in a gallop. The percussion cap spare in the stock's patchbox was indicative of the inferior weapon's blackpowder fouling tendency. The brass shell had no primer and each was wrapped in nitrate paper to insure ignition from the percussion cap which caused the casing to jam...not good in the midst of battle...hence its unpopularity with troopers. My own is an ERMA Werke reproduction and I've the mold to cast the .54 caliber minie balls...slightly smaller than the .58 Springfield or .577 Enfield full infantry rifled-musket.
