Who / What / Where Game

[Buddahaid]

No. I can see this will need a direction. The photo is part of a movie set so real, yet not real.

[TarJak]

Willy Wonka's glass elevator?

[Buddahaid]

No. It's still something that can fly.

[TarJak]

No. It's still something that can fly.

That was the point of it... Obviously not a Roald Dahl reader then:hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Well I didn't watch the movie ever. :O:

[Armistead]

The craft in movie Oblivion

[Buddahaid]

No but we're getting on course. Much older.

[TarJak]

Looks too modern for the Time Machine with Rod Taylor so I'll put that in as my next guess to eliminate it.

[Buddahaid]

No. Not modern at all. Classic.

[Armistead]

pre 60's....

just asking, for all I know classics to you could be the 80 era

[Buddahaid]

Yes before the 1960's. True classics not today's instant classics.

[Armistead]

Are you talking about the red plane looking through the plexiglass or the object that is part of.. like inside the plexiglass or is it all one in the same..

[Buddahaid]

I'm asking for what it is part of. As if it were the helm position of a ship and I want the ship name, or at least it's part of the blank from blank movie.

I'll expand the picture some in a bit but I think the clues will work pretty soon.

[Eichhörnchen]

Autogyro?

[TarJak]

Wonder Woman's invisible jet?

[Jimbuna]

Intruder?

[Buddahaid]

All wrong. Got to head off to work now but I'll check in.

[Jimbuna]

A flying submarine?

[Buddahaid]

Nope. I'll expand the picture when I get home in about 4-5 hours, but keep guessing. To recap the clues, it's part of a movie set from before the 1960's of an imaginary vehicle.

[Jimbuna]

20,000 leagues under the sea?

[Buddahaid]

No again.

[Jimbuna]

Lost In Space?

[Buddahaid]

Getting close but it's a movie craft.

[Jimbuna]

Perhaps a further clue?

[TarJak]

Plan 9 from outer space?

[Buddahaid]

1956.

[TarJak]

Flying saucer from Invasion of the Flying Saucers, otherwise known as Flying Saucers vs Earth.

[Armistead]

Hehe, good luck, bet I searched {spaceships movies 1950's images} a dozen times..

[Armistead]

Forbidden Planet....this thing sits on the table, some sphere plastic educator

http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu235/Armistead1424/Armistead1424126/images31_zps218ae783.jpg

[Buddahaid]

Just got home from work.

That would be it and the answer is close enough. It's the Astrogator from the C57-D Space Cruiser in the movie Forbidden Planet.

OK, need name and location.

[Buddahaid]

Well I did ask for the whole objects name.
What is this part of? I'm looking for the whole objects name, or best close description will do.

[Buddahaid]

It's a Small World ride at Disneyland.

[Stealhead]

Looks like Cinderelas Castle at the Magic Kingdom Disney World Kissimmee Florida. Been there many times Epcot Center is 1000 times better.

[Armistead]

hehe...too easy

Stealhead is up

[Stealhead]

Yep. Post one a while take some time for a good one.

[Stealhead]

What is this? Obviously it is an aircraft of some sort so name it. Clues will be limited this time due to the pic I choose I feel that it shows unique features of this aircraft as it is if you are observant and seek. So you need to put your thinking cap on for this one.

[Oberon]

Vickers Valiant?

[TarJak]

Antonov AN22?

[Buddahaid]

Antonov AN22?

Seems very likely. No I change my mind but it's close.

[Betonov]

Concordsky, the Russian copy of the Concorde

[TarJak]

Concordsky, the Russian copy of the Concorde

Unlikely to be the TU-144. Too many windscreen panels over the nose:
http://www.tupolev.ru/files/core/istoria/samolety/ty-144/144-16.jpg

Could be a Concorde though, but I still don't think so:
http://www.blogcdn.com/news.travel.aol.com/media/2011/06/concorde.jpg

[Betonov]

I see, missed again. :hmmm:

[Betonov]

Antonov AN22?

I think TarJak is the winner. But that's Stealhead to decide
http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/4/7/7/1343774.jpg

[Jimbuna]

If not an Ant (which it surely is)....space shuttle.

[Buddahaid]

I thought so too, but the window frames at the outer side of the three forward frames are thicker, and the anti-glare paint is wider in all the AN-22 pics I could find.

[TarJak]

I thought so too, but the window frames at the outer side of the three forward frames are thicker, and the anti-glare paint is wider in all the AN-22 pics I could find.

That's what's got me worried. Hurry up so I can have another guess!:arrgh!:

[Stealhead]

Not an AN-22 though they do have a similar appearance at least in that one area. It is not a Valiant also not the Space Shuttle.

Alright then a few clues. This is not a Russian or British design. This aircraft is powered by piston engines.(that means if you guess C-130 you are dead wrong those use turboprops:D)

[Betonov]

Canadair CL-number something, the firefighting plane

http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/3/5/8/2249853.jpg

[Stealhead]

No not a flying boat or float plane of any sort. That might be from the same general era though maybe a few years newer. Your guess is CL-215.

This aircraft has 4 engines.

Edit: The CL-215 is a bit newer than my aircraft by more than 10 years.

[Betonov]

VC-121 ???

[Stealhead]

No not the Connie certainly one of the best looking aircraft my aircraft does not have such pleasing lines more like the Connies fat girlfriend. You are in the right ball park era wise though.

[TarJak]

Douglas C-124 Globemaster

[Stealhead]

Yep certainly not in the running for most elegant looking aircraft.:up:
It did get the job done though C-124 was the primary heavy lifter until the C-141 entered service now the C-141 itself is retired.

[TarJak]

Cool. I'm on a train on the way to work so may be a while...

[TarJak]

This one shouldn't take long. What is this part of?
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/TarJak/TarJak040/whatisthis.jpg

[u crank]

The train you're on. :O:

[TarJak]

No:O:

[TarJak]

Not Amtrak.

[Oberon]

XPT? :hmmm:

[TarJak]

Winnah! Knew you'd get it.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/TarJak/TarJak041/20130918_084806.jpg

[Oberon]

Ha! How about that! :up: It's good to see the Class 43s getting some work in over there, I wonder if they still have the original Valenta engines, we pulled ours out and replaced them with boring MTUs.

Well, this is a bit awkward, I'm at work at the moment so I can't post one yet, will have to do later on today. :yep:

[TarJak]

Ha! How about that! :up: It's good to see the Class 43s getting some work in over there, I wonder if they still have the original Valenta engines, we pulled ours out and replaced them with boring MTUs.

Well, this is a bit awkward, I'm at work at the moment so I can't post one yet, will have to do later on today. :yep:

The Valentia's are gone. XPT power cars were originally powered by a Paxman Valenta 12RP200L engine with a single turbocharger. These were replaced from June 2000 by Paxman VP185 12-cylinder, diesel electric engines with four low-pressure turbochargers and two high-pressure turbochargers boasting 1,492 kW / 2,000 horsepower that had been successfully used by some British Rail High Speed Trains since 1994. Traction equipment was manufactured in England by Brush Traction of Loughborough.

[Oberon]

Ah, so you've got the same as us, that's a shame, the Valentas had a hell of a scream to them when run at full throttle. Having a Valenta HST going through a platform at full tilt just as you're getting off a train on the other side of the platform is quite a jump scare. :haha:

[Jimbuna]

Right then...

http://i.imgur.com/8VOAqYO.jpg?1

It's pretty obvious that this is from a train, but can anyone tell me what one?

[Jimbuna]

A steam locomotive?

[Armistead]

eurostar

[Oberon]

Nope and nope.

[Buddahaid]

Eindecker cockpit?

[Oberon]

Eindecker cockpit?

Eindeckers don't run on tracks. :03:

[Stealhead]

DB ICE?

[Oberon]

DB ICE?

Nope, although the ICE-T could probably trace its heritage back to it. :yep:

[Stealhead]

The Japanese 0 series Shinkansen?

[Buddahaid]

Eindeckers don't run on tracks. :03:

Maybe yours don't.:nope:


:O:

[Armistead]

but it is a bullet train....right?

A China one?

[Stealhead]

but it is a bullet train....right?

A China one?

I do not think so the Chinese did not get into modern type high speed trains until the 90's. My guess the German ICE entered service in the late 80's. Oberon said that the ICE was a development of his train. So you can eliminate anything developed from the late 80's on up. Reading the posts will help you guess just saying.

:har:

The train in question was developed in the mid 1970s, but a derivative continued to be experimented with into the early 1980s.

Ultimately though, it went the same way as TSR-2.

That should give you enough firepower to get it. :yep:

Righteo then.....this is a two-parter.

What are these? and for what purpose are they being used?

This will not be easy and I will be absolutely amazed at anyone coming up with the correct answer.

Never seen a trough with windows you can see through :O:

The two halves of a trouser-press, for putting in nice creases.

Nope.

[Armistead]

It's finally reached this point......:O:

These to be plural.....Maybe some letters near the top...

Is it a type of container?

[TarJak]

The portal to Narnia at the back of your wardrobe. I suspect that you use it to obtain Turkish delight.

[Aktungbby]

Does the upper thing come down to the bottom thing in a mechanical process?

[Eichhörnchen]

It could be the dessicated thighs of a very old lady.

I can assure you that Jim's thighs don't look like that.

A million miles away.

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

Clue 1...There are two objects in the clue photo alongside each other but the cropped image actually gives the impression one is above the other.

[Eichhörnchen]

I know what this is: it's impossible. :shifty::/\\!!

[Jimbuna]

Not at all...the difference this time being I am posting something I haven't in previous threads in the past :)

I admit the cropped picture is difficult to assess but when all is guessed or revealed it will become quite obvious.

Clue 2...there is a military connection.

[VipertheSniper]

Bomber with an escort plane?

[TarJak]

WWI trench alarm bells made from shell casings?

[Eichhörnchen]

A tank: the top part is the barrel, the bottom the hull top.

That is correct but the correct angle is the one I originally posted.

None of those.

[Armistead]

so it is metal?

Here a lil larger brighter correct angle pic.

Tis made from fibre glass material with an aluminium mounting ring around the base.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Lancaster gun turret?

Lancaster gun turret?

I bet that is it.

So it must be modern-day, otherwise a newly fabricated replacement part for a restored plane?

[Jimbuna]

I bet that is it.

You lose your bet.

Lancaster gun turret?

Nope and I have already said it is from something I haven't posted previously but when I saw you come back on the forum my senses said "If anyone can get this it'll be that bugga" :03:

Check the two clues and read my initial post.

Righteo then.....this is a two-parter.

Certainly post WWII and your getting warm.

Not necessarily could be what is known as "new old stock". We made a lot of stuff in during WWII. If so perhaps new plexiglass.

No but was used to test something prior to production.

[Betonov]

Is it this ???

An AA artillery piece in Eden camp near York ??
i think your image was cropped somewhere between the barrel and the hut roof

[Eichhörnchen]

I think that's called a Bofors Gun...

[Betonov]

I think that's called a Bofors Gun...

Ah, thanks. The comment by the picture only said AA artillery

[Stealhead]

So it is part of an aircraft turret correct? If so I say B-24 tail turret.

[Armistead]

how about nose frame on lancaster bomber

[TarJak]

Wing spar locator? is it from a Bucaneer?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it the scanner on an AWACS aircraft?

Nope not a gun but you are spot on about the cropping...when you see the picture in full you will realise it was the only cropping possibility that wouldn't give the game away.

[Jimbuna]

Nope not an aircraft turret.

Not a Lancaster bomber.

[Jimbuna]

Not a wing spar locator and there is no part of a Bucaneer on view but you are barking up the right tree.

Is it the scanner on an AWACS aircraft?

AWACS weren't in the RAF inventory at the time as far as I am aware.

Second last clue...they are part of a British military aircraft in the making.

Remember the original question:

What are these? and for what purpose are they being used?

I'm enjoying this, got a few of you buggas thinking :)

[Eichhörnchen]

If you're not absolutely sure whether or not AWACS was used by the UK at this time then that suggests it was maybe the 60's, when RAF aircraft tended to be natural metal or white overall. If it was nonetheless military then the green colour would suggest instead an Army aircraft, which would most likely then make it a helicopter, which would then suggest that the top part is a rotor blade...

[Jimbuna]

You take me too literally.....I was referring to the current AWAC of which I have been aboard two...they are No8 Sqn based at RAF Waddington and became operational in 1991 iirc.

Prior to those we had the Shackleton but I digress...my apologies.

The time era is not the 60's and the picture is not a rotor blade.

[Eichhörnchen]

Brain slipped out of gear for a moment there: I'd forgotten about the Shack.

If it's fibreglass with a mounting ring then that still suggests some kind of rotating radar housing: can you say or not yet?

Oh I can well imagine...I've waited quite a while to put something up I've not posted previously therefore setting a challenge :)

I'm surprised HB and Oberon haven't been around much lately....themewise especially HB (a further clue possibly).

[Betonov]

Perhaps a V-1 engine and a hut roof in Eden camp

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/V1_Bomb.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

To summarise: it's a post war British military aircraft and this is a fibreglass mock-up of a part or parts for testing ahead of production...?

I know the picture is of little help but when I post it in full it will be obvious there was no other way of cropping it without giving everything away.

The picture is of two aircraft fitted with for testing purposes a certain part of the plane that will replace the testing aircraft.

What are these? and for what purpose are they being used?


I have partly answered the original question now....what is the part?

Must be easy now....shirley.

Is one for sale for $25,000?

[Armistead]

Is one for sale for $25,000?

haha, u tell me

[Aktungbby]

VAndenburg 61 barrel Volley gun .50 caliber double ended whitworth bullets; used in siege of Petersburg having been rejected by US NAVY as impractical; some rounds had little stabilizer fins and an effective range of 2000 yards; 90% of the rounds would go in a six in. target! One percussion cap set off the whole shebang. Two originals are known to exist-reloading was a bitch. Makes my Lemat a better choice. http://www.cannonsuperstore.com/vandenburggun/MG-1-033-6.jpg

[Armistead]

winner Aktung...figured u would get it.

[Buddahaid]

I thought this one would be something I knew nothing about.

[Aktungbby]

The British Navy has two commands from this hoisted signalhttp://www.omniglot.com/images/blog/stmb.gif... One during Battle and one generally after battle...What two separate functions are carried out. Clue: This post is a dead giveaway.

[Armistead]

I thought this one would be something I knew nothing about.

way i posted the pics and because of the shine I knew everyone would be thinking engine.

Aktung pretty much has figured I post CW stuff...but with the clues, dang near gave the entire pic away...

[Aktungbby]

Well it's not England expects....

NOPE but just as highly regarded nowadays! :D

[Buddahaid]

Admiral Jellicoe's famous flag signal, "Equal Speed/C(harlie)/L(ondon)." but I that's just a pure guess.

[Armistead]

A,D,2,8 and no code book. :/\\!!


thought one was for diver down....

should be a flag signal book online....i'll search it tomorrow, too bz working tonight

[Aktungbby]

Nope but ADM Jellico definately gave the command numerous times in his rise to supreme command. As did HRM (Also a naval officer) George VI and even famed sub-hunter Johnny Walker
thought one was for diver down....

should be a flag signal book online....i'll search it tomorrow, too bz working tonight Well at least something goes down...I'm a bit down myself; probably too groggy from staring at the screen all day-nighty night:subsim::salute:
P.S. the post really is a dead givaway

[Betonov]

Splice the mainbrace, an order given to issue the men drink, either before battle to give them courage or after as a reward

[Aktungbby]

A winner and well done BETANOV! close enough: the actual order "splice the mainbrace" actually meant...Splice the mainbrace-during action!!! the massive rigging to move the yards being essential to the operation of a sailing ship and aimed at specifically in the age of sail. HMS Victory, for example, which lost two masts and her steering at Trafalgar was in tough straits. Since this was very hazardous under fire, an extra 'tot' would be issued to those adept with a marlinspike reweaving the thick rope under fire... And to the fleet after a successful engagement. Ultimately, sails long gone, the expression was limited to the imbibing of the tot. My post is the 'dead giveaway'...including the sig: ie Lord Nelson, so the legend goes, was placed in a cask of refined spirits...and the tars drank the contents of the cask- "tapping the admiral to splice the mainbrace" Naturally when the extra grog order was to the whole fleet the flag signal was hoisted. The 'tot' was discontinued on a daily basis in 1970 http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0163/4514/products/splice-the-mainbrance_cf4384c3-7d50-4785-9946-6901507dfd2f_medium.jpg?v=1386014832 The signal flags-Now available from Pusser's (purser)"Nelson's Blood" Rum $39.95. Those will look good on my flag halyard...:arrgh!:

[Betonov]

Bring me grog wench. I'll se what I can post when I get home

[Jimbuna]

You made that far too easy Anze :)

[HunterICX]

What is this from?

http://i.imgur.com/RaMLJDV.jpg?1

[Jimbuna]

An aeroplane?

[Oberon]

Aye, a radial engine one at that.

[Oberon]

B17?

[HunterICX]

An aeroplane?

Aye, a radial engine one at that.

:yep:

B17?

Nope

[VipertheSniper]

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt?

[Jimbuna]

B-25 changed to Corsair.

[VipertheSniper]

B-25?

I might as well be wrong, but in all the pictures I found, the Mitchell had only 3 blades and I think in the full picture there would be 4.

[Betonov]

I'll place my bet on DC-3

[Jimbuna]

I might as well be wrong, but in all the pictures I found, the Mitchell had only 3 blades and I think in the full picture there would be 4.

Your not wrong...I can't see the number of blades from the clue picture though so I'll change my answer to Corsair.

[Buddahaid]

It can't be any of those as there's no lip. I'm stumped.

[HunterICX]

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt?

Nope

B-25 changed to Corsair.

Neither of those

I'll place my bet on DC-3

Nope

[Eichhörnchen]

I thought the answer was "nope" to both "aeroplane" and "radial engine"?

[Jimbuna]

My original guess of B-25?

[HunterICX]

I thought the answer was "nope" to both "aeroplane" and "radial engine"?

No they're right it's a aeroplane and that's indeed part of the Radial Engine of one.

My original guess of B-25?

Well I said ''neither of those'' to make sure the B-25 is scrapped of the list as well for future guessers :03:

[Aktungbby]

R 3350 Wright on a B 29? http://www.sun-inet.or.jp/~ja2tko/image.b29.museum/b29.22.nasel.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it civil or military?

[HunterICX]

R 3350 Wright on a B 29?

Nope

[Raptor1]

A B-26, possibly?

EDIT: Or maybe just a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine in general?

[HunterICX]

A B-26, possibly?

Bingo

Way to go :rock:

Right, how about...this thing:

[Buddahaid]

B-47? Nah but it's the closest I've come up with.

[Aktungbby]

C-130 hercules

[Raptor1]

Neg.

B-47? Nah but it's the closest I've come up with.

No.

Nope.

It is not.

Well...that's dashed unsporting...but it is an aircraft?

[Raptor1]

Well...that's dashed unsporting...but it is an aircraft?

Very much indeed.

[Oberon]

Very much indeed.

VSTOL? :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

VSTOL? :hmmm:

Not in the least.

[Oberon]

Last question (I hope) Jet powered?

[Raptor1]

Last question (I hope) Jet powered?

Yup.

[Buddahaid]

Well what I can see gives it a nose wheel, conventional tail, either a bomb bay or possible mid-line gear but those don't have nose gear, mild wing sweep and at least two engines.

No idea as of yet though.

B-45 Tornado?

[Oberon]

B-47 Stratojet? :hmmm:

[Raptor1]
