@Jeff Not a Vickers, a german plane and inventor, also not a Grade Eindecker.

I think Budda was close but Aktung found it:
A Harlan Eindecker it is! Well done!

The plane on the photo above is shown during test-flights in the Ottoman empire, probably in 1913, and maybe also in the early war for reconnaissance mission.

"In September 1913, Hermann Reichelt succeeded in a stage flight over 1025 km from Johannisthal to Villacoublay with a Harlan monoplane."


The plane weighed 275 kilograms and was able to lift 240 kg (!) off the ground, due to Aluminium and cleverly invented stringer profiles used. The military version usually had ailerons, the fuselage was open but could be closed with doped and aluminated cloth of a kind that was also used on the later Zeppelins. A mixture of rust powder made it more resilient towards UV rays.
Engines varied and became more powerful, the first one was a 50 hp Argus engine, the plane on the photo above already had a 100 hp version, also other propellors were tried out and used.

Airship? Not in the hydrogen sense; but Catfish isn't too far off; it was designed as a ''nasty liittle insect''!!??

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Is that a hatch that's open? It's gets so pixilated when zooming in I can't tell.

[Jimbuna]

aircraft?

An aircraft it is.

[Jimbuna]

I know it's wrong but Space comes into my mind when I look at the picture

Markus

Not 'space' related.

Is that a hatch that's open? It's gets so pixilated when zooming in I can't tell.

Yes, a hatch but not big enough for a human body.

[Aktungbby]

military?

[Buddahaid]

No stealth. Is it manned?

[Jimbuna]

military?

This one is.

[Jimbuna]

Somehow I thought the military question was a negative.

Textron Nightwarden?

[Jimbuna]

Bayraktar TB2 drone?

My sincerest humble apologies Vinnie, you are quite correct in your post :oops:

It is the Bayraktar TB2 drone.

The boss has had me out most of the day looking for a Rattan garden furniture dining set and the only quick glimpse on here earlier this morning had me overlook your post...my head is still spinning from the experience :doh:

[Jimbuna]

Nice one :up:

[Aktungbby]

Easy. Seversky P-35.yup, the photo of one landing in bad weather in Luzon in 1940 wouldn't copy so I cropped the puzzle one; but 'twas still too easy. Over to BuddhaBBY:Kaleun_Salute:

[Buddahaid]

I still had to verify it but the P-35 just popped into my head right off.

What is this then?
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/2017/PSmtM8.png

[Jimbuna]

[Jimbuna]

[VipertheSniper]

an apple cut in half

[Cyborg322]

https://i.ibb.co/hVRXNyF/apple.jpg (https://imgbb.com/) :up:


Yup ,sorry was not something more interesting was short on time

[VipertheSniper]

Yup ,sorry was not something more interesting was short on time

the guesses were certainly interesting considering it was so obvious, for me atleast.

So who's this:

[Jimbuna]

Tony Blair?

[VipertheSniper]

:up: yep, next time I'll do the reverse image search before posting

[Cyborg322]

Tony Blair?

over to you Jim

[Jimbuna]

:up: yep, next time I'll do the reverse image search before posting

Didn't need that having met him on numerous occasions over the years.

The Western Wall, or “Wailing Wall"

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Spot on and over to you :salute:

[mapuc]

..and I pass it over to you Jim..You are my stand-in.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Okay then.

What is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/vTK6D8JS/dfbgngn.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Buddahaid]

I'm back. Window hardware?

[Jimbuna]

I'm back. Window hardware?

Apologies but I'm not sure I understand :hmmm:

No connection to windows though.

[Aktungbby]

does it move?

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Aktungbby]

is it on wheels?

[Jimbuna]

It is.

[Aktungbby]

Diesel or gas?

[Jimbuna]

My guess would be diesel for movement and gas for operation.

[Aktungbby]

military?

[Jimbuna]

I believe so but definitely used for military purposes and currently.

[Aktungbby]

does it shoot something?

[Jimbuna]

No but some believe it to be controversial.

[Cyborg322]

related to communications ?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not but in current use today.

[Aktungbby]

American?

[Jimbuna]

Not American.

[Aktungbby]

[Jimbuna]

That's the one :up:

https://i.postimg.cc/RV30GNVp/gngnh.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Over to you :salute:

[Aktungbby]

Your "gas to operate, diesel to motivate" hint; and my previous foto-post of one early-on in the Ukraine thread: put paid a speedy solution. I cannot fathom being a Russian conscript and going into battle with these units in my rear...hardly conducive to good morale imho?!! Much less proof positive of the Einsatzgruppen intent to murder civilians and coverup the evidence...since the invasion was allegedly planned as a three-day flower-strewn "liberation" with minimal casualties...??:o I'll have something devious shortly.

[Aktungbby]

Shortly: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=12522 What ship is this??

[mapuc]

Came to think of the Cuba crisis

Markus

[Aktungbby]

In service at that time; more of a SEATO than a NATO vessel:arrgh!:

[Jimbuna]

USS Pueblo?

[Aktungbby]

bigger

[Jimbuna]

Saratoga?

[Aktungbby]

not an aircraft carrier...

[Catfish]

"Bigger than USS Pueblo", destryoyer?

[Aktungbby]

bigger than destroyer...and a flagship to boot.

[mapuc]

A Cruiser ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

A Cruiser ?

MarkusBINGO! with 3 different hull designations during its long carreer; big hint the high-school dropout seen on the helm in 1977, known as "Beak" to his shipmates, was trained in helmsmanship by me:up: in the summer of '69 on a small lake in northern Minnesota! :arrgh!:

[Exocet25fr]

USS Oklahoma City Cruiser ?

[Aktungbby]

Bingo and over to U!:Kaleun_Salute: The the man at the wheel is my baby brother at his station. As a an eleven year old, he was a camper at a Y-camp where I taught sailing, canoeing, swimming, horse-back riding and was the rowboat director of the camp!

[Aktungbby]

The mandatory 24 hr waiting period having passed; I will post a new puzzle to keep the thread/game in motion: what is this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=12527

[Buddahaid]

An Icon. :Kaleun_Salute:

[Aktungbby]

Possibly

[Catfish]

An Anasazi structure?

[Aktungbby]

wrong continent

[Catfish]

South America? Or do the Americas count as one? :O:

If they count as one in your book and it's neither one of both i'd ask for Africa :03:

[Aktungbby]

good heavens man, South America is a separate continent and not the one in question.

[Jimbuna]

A three thousand year old iron age statue/Mont’e Prama giant?

https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2021/11/these-3000-year-old-giants-watched-over-the-cemeteries-of-sardinia

[Aktungbby]

Bingo! On the Island of Sardinia. Over to U:salute:

[Catfish]

Ouch! And to think i saw them :o :/\\!!
:haha:
Well done

[Aktungbby]

I knew that so I threw U a bone?!! U failed dismally.:O:

[Catfish]

Failing dismally is one of my main features :smug:

Was totally wrong about the size, actually i thought about the Anasazi, and then of Benin. But next question would have been about the size .. :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

in this case "size matters"; they are referred to as the giant statues...:shucks:

[Jimbuna]
