Not in Australia unfortunately - another country. The thing also no longer exists.

Not in Australia unfortunately - another country. The thing also no longer exists.

Like my faith in humanity.....

Was this part of an Olympics structure?

[stork100]

Was this part of an Olympics structure?

Good question. The thing itself never had anything to do with the Olympics, yet Olympic events were held at the venue where and when it was constructed.

[Buddahaid]

Does it have anything to do with water?

[stork100]

Does it have anything to do with water?

No.

Winter Olympics local?

[stork100]

Winter Olympics local?

Not a winter Olympics. I should point out that the place only hosted some Olympic events, and is not what it's significantly remembered for.

I was thinking on the same lines but the orignal Olympiastadion in Berlin

[Aktungbby]

Not in Australia unfortunately - another country. The thing also no longer exists.

I was thinking on the same lines but the orignal Olympiastadion in Berlin :hmmm: Per Stork100: it no longer exists; the original Olympiastadion is now the current renovated Olympiastadion?? Is it the old olympic swimming venue poolside tilework? https://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Berlin_Olympic_swimming_venue-640x430.jpg

[Catfish]

Hmm, Avus race track?

[Buddahaid]

:hmmm: Per Stork100: it no longer exists; the original Olympiastadion is now the current renovated Olympiastadion?? Is it the old olympic swimming venue poolside tilework?

Wouldn't that be related to water which received a no answer?

[stork100]

Hmm, Avus race track?

Quite right. :up:

The 43 degree banked north curve of the AVUS racetrack in Germany known as 'The Wall of Death', constructed in 1936 and dismantled in 1967. No doubt one of the most impressive corners in motor racing history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVUS


https://i.imgur.com/hx995MS.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/hlkJN9w.jpg


In an effort to make AVUS the "world's fastest race track", the 1936 season was skipped and while the track hosted the cycling road race, the marathon and 50 km walk athletic events of the 1936 Summer Olympics, the north curve was turned into a steeply banked turn (43°) made of bricks. It became dubbed the wall of death, especially as it had no retaining barrier, so cars that missed the turn easily flew off it. The Silver Arrows raced only once on the banked version, in 1937. As the AVUS race did not count towards the championship, non-GP cars were allowed, which permitted the use of streamlined cars, similar to the cars used for high speed record attempts. This race was run in two heats; during qualifying for the second heat, Luigi Fagioli stuck his Auto Union Type C on pole position, with a time of 4 minutes and 8.2 seconds at an average speed of 284.31 km/h (176.7 mph)- which was the fastest motor racing lap in history until this time was bettered by Tony Bettenhausen in qualifying for the 1957 Race of Two Worlds at Monza. It was also bettered by four drivers during the 1971 Indianapolis 500. Mercedes driver Hermann Lang's average race speed of about 276 km/h (171 mph) was the fastest road race in history for nearly five decades, and was not matched on a high-speed banked-circuit until the mid-1980s at the 1986 Indianapolis 500.Over to Catfish. :salute:

[Catfish]

^ Thanks Stork100 :)
just saw it, sorry for being late..

Berlin and "no water" were valuable hints, but i never saw the surface structure of the AVUS 'Nordkurve' so close. Really thought of an aerial photograph at first.
btw the abbreviation means "Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungsstraße" (~Automobile traffic and test road), and some original portion is still part of today's Berlin city motorway. Too bad not this angled part though, would be fun to drive .. :haha:

sorry but there's no consistency but forget about it

[Catfish]

^ ok let's forget about it, just to explain:
Mapuc had proposed that the letters mean "SPQR" (verified by me), so it was already clear it is roman, or italian.
Aktung asked whether it is made of cast iron (verified by me).
So i thought an italian cast-iron object with letters SPQR on it and described as a manhole cover by Jim is the solution.
No harm intended, i have nothing against Markus Witt posing the next question, but i honestly think Jim had it first – even if he did not produce a photo of the whole thing :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

Yup; Jimbuna had it first...even if it's not politically correct in the age of 'Me Too':hmmm: There are competent female municipality sewer workers who rightiously object vehemently to the term "Manhole cover"!:O:https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/sewer-repair-works-manhole-woman-worker-goes-underground-work-132309572.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/NGTdFGMb/gnbgnyhhy.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[mapuc]

Related to terrorisme ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

[Buddahaid]

Well it's a British Airways aircraft. I'm going to guess it's British Airways Flight 38 from Beijing. A Boeing 777-236ER that landed at London Heathrow with both engines failing to respond to auto-throttle on ILS approach and idled at about 500 feet AGL. The aircraft landed short and hard but everyone survives. True to human nature several passengers carry off their luggage with one even trying to reboard. The accident cause was attributed to ice crystals forming in fuel lines.

[Jimbuna]

You're correct with regards to the airline but what is unusual about the location the plane is currently in, especially as regards this airport?

[Aktungbby]

well...since it's 'not related to terrorism', it can't be at Bagram airport??!:O:

[Buddahaid]

You're correct with regards to the airline but what is unusual about the location the plane is currently in, especially as regards this airport?

So does that mean I have the correct flight?

That would have been obvious if it had been :)

[Jimbuna]

So does that mean I have the correct flight?

I've no idea what BA flight it is but what I'm after is the exact/specific location of the aircraft and the almost unique (as far as I'm aware) nature regarding this airport.

CLUE: I've flown into this airport but sailed out of it.

[Jimbuna]

No but if you put your detective hat on you may deduce from previous posts by me on this forum that the airport in question is connected to my former seafaring career.

[Aktungbby]

Edinburgh airport? due to navigational screwup? Should have been Düsseldorf, Germany!

[Jimbuna]

Not far enough away.

CLUE: This airport is right next to a harbour.

[Markus Witt]

Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong?

This isn't an accident then.

[Aktungbby]

Where is this and what makes it kinda unusual?

https://i.postimg.cc/NGTdFGMb/gnbgnyhhy.jpg (https://postimages.org/)Is it Kai Tak airport next to Victoria Harbor; and what makes it kinda unusual is that the approach could not be flown by aircraft instruments, as a visual sighting on approach is mandatory; when the pilot has sighted the Red & white visual marker atop Checkerboard Hill,https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/wide_landscape/public/d8/images/methode/2019/04/15/414c9f1a-5f5a-11e9-b745-17e2afcf325c_image_hires_172439.jpg?itok=1GKcUSW9&v=1555320283 commencing a descending starboard turning approach for final touchdown leg on runway 13.

Yes.


U-567 with Englebert Endrass who painted the bull on Prien's boat and all of his own vessels afterwards.

Not U-567.

[Jimbuna]

U-96?

[Markus Witt]

U-96?

That's it. :up:

This is U-96 departing St. Nazaire 27 October 1941 for it's seventh patrol, the famous Das Boot patrol. In the conning tower we see commander Lehmann-Willenbrock and Obersteuermann Alfred Radermacher (Kriechbaum in the book/movie).

What makes it noteworthy is that U-96 does not carry the famous laughing swordfish emblem. All boats in the 7th flotilla were ordered in May 1941 to add the Scapa Flow snorting bull emblem to the conning tower in remembrance of Günther Prien. So during her 5th patrol U-96 carried both the snorting bull and the laughing swordfish. After the patrol the swordfish was removed completely and from then on she only carried the snorting bull. I did not know this until recently and it surprised me since the laughing swordfish emblem is so famous and features prominently in the movie.

As a sidenote: Amazingly the L.I. Friedrich Grade (105) and the II.W.O Werner Herrmann (101) from that patrol are still alive today!

Ah, I guess it must be the John Frost Bridge then. Thought about it before but did not see a resemblance with your photo. Build between 1932 and 1935 over the Lower Rhine in the city of Arnhem. Famous for the Battle of Arnhem in Operation Market Garden. Also known as the Rhine Bridge it was officially named after Major-General John Dutton "Johnny" Frost in 1978. Frost was an airborne officer of the British Army best known for being the leader of the small group of about 740 British airborne troops that took the northern end of the bridge and held out for several days against a much larger German force, waiting in vain for reinforcements.

Before the bridge was build there was a pontoon bridge located there, first build in 1603.

[Buddahaid]

A better choice but I still can't tie any of this to the photo.

[Jimbuna]

De Oversteek?

Not that one no.

Nope, the letter J and I see the correct answer after your post.

Correct and one small fact not mentioned.....it was actually the IJssel bridge in Deventer that was used for the film.

Over to you :salute:

[Markus Witt]

I considered this bridge before and looked at photos off it but could not recognize features from your photo. Tricky one.

OK, what is this and where can it be found.

[mapuc]

I think we are in the nuclear area

Correct, maybe too easy? But what exactly do we see here.

No, it is not in a submarine. Also not a console.

[Jimbuna]

Civilian use?

[Markus Witt]

Civilian use?

Yes, civilian. Not military.

[mapuc]

These small squares are they below 4 meters of clean water.
The water is so clean you can't see it.

Markus

[Catfish]

Could be a reactor like in Chernobyl, but then this is/was not only for civilan use.. hmm

[Markus Witt]

Markus

No, it is not below water.

It is Chernobyl. I guess you're right about military use, forgot about that.
And is is part of a reactor, but which part specifically?

[Catfish]

Hmm, if it's Chernobyl, the 'floor' with mixture of fuel and control rods? Graphite-moderated RBMK type

[Markus Witt]

Hmm, if it's Chernobyl, the 'floor' with mixture of fuel and control rods? Graphite-moderated RBMK type

Yeah, that's it. It is the reactor lid. The square blocks are the protective caps of the fuel and control rods. The various colours you see indicate the position of various types of control rods.
The covers are the blocks that were dancing up and down in the HBO series Chernobyl.

Specifically this is reactor no. 2, which survived the disaster and remained in operation. Now decomissioned, which is why several caps are missing. Second photo shows the view of the entire reactor hall from the refueling operator room window.

[Markus Witt]

Over to Catfish. :salute:

[Catfish]

Thanks, umm I did not really put this right, it is the reactor lid as you rightly said..
