but it can fly?

[Buddahaid]

Not intended to but it's possible for very brief moments if one could call that flying, so no not really.

[u crank]

Boat. Offshore Super Series type?

[Buddahaid]

It is a boat. Not offshore type but similar and unique. I felt for certain someone was going to call it a Corvette Stingray which is what it is partially.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Turbine engine.

[Jimbuna]

Part of a thruster or engine exhaust from a space rocket or satellite.

It's here on this page (second photo in the sequence) but I can't read Italiano:

Probably from a Vega rocket. Maybe one of the Zefiro family, 23 or 9. :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Cunning, stealth....and an old programme left over from days in the secret service :03:

[Stealhead]

Looks to be an aileron or elevator for an aircraft.

[Eichhörnchen]

It looks maritime with that "eye", Is it?

[Jimbuna]

Not an aircraft.

[Jimbuna]

Not maritime but Stealhead wasn't a million miles off.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it an aerofoil stabiliser for a car?

[Armistead]

that eye is throwing me off

[Aktungbby]

Catapult shuttle for carrier launch?

[Jimbuna]

Is it an aerofoil stabiliser for a car?

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

that eye is throwing me off

I must admit it did me as well initially but having been up close to one it became abundantly clear what it was...there are two in total btw.

Catapult shuttle for carrier launch?

Nope.

[u crank]

Seaplane float/pontoon?

[Eichhörnchen]

Wind Turbine?

[Jimbuna]

Seaplane float/pontoon?

Wind Turbine?

Neither.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does this thing have wheels?

[Armistead]

Do the eyes actually secure/tie the item down or is it used to
secure something to the the item itself.

[Jimbuna]

Does this thing have wheels?

No wheels.

[Jimbuna]

Do the eyes actually secure/tie the item down or is it used to

The eyes are the means by which the item is secured temporarily to something else.

I like your train of thought so I'll give a clue.....think military not civilian.

I was thinking outer space, some piece of lift equipment regarding space station, maybe your hint "million miles away"

does it have to do with outer space?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it modern military?

[Stealhead]

Where in the heck did you come up with that? :hmmm: Dont know what it is but pretty confident its not that.


Is this a large object or something handheld? It sort of looks like the tang of some bladed weapon though the eyelet would not make sense then.

Not too large but certainly not hand held and is quite topical in the UK atm.

Oh and I'll have a pint of whatever Aktung is on :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Are the eyes secured using a rope or chain?

[Buddahaid]

Europa anti-ship missle?

[Jimbuna]

Are the eyes secured using a rope or chain?

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

Europa anti-ship missle?

Very warm.

[Eichhörnchen]

It's the mounting pylon for a cluster of up to three missiles (maybe Brimstone ATG) and the square eyelets fasten it to the aircraft.

[Jimbuna]

Nope but you are also very warm.

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/CaJ9GJh.png?1?7247

Surely it has to be a sponson attaching a payload of some kind? The eyelets are
just like these...

[Jimbuna]

As I said...your very warm.

[Aktungbby]

Not too large but certainly not hand held and is quite topical in the UK atm.

Something to do with the new controversial F-35B Lightning II altered for British armament? Hamm's with Glengoyne chaser?:D

[Buddahaid]

Hmmmm........

[Jimbuna]

Something to do with the new controversial F-35B Lightning II altered for British armament? Hamm's with Glengoyne chaser?:D

Very close but wrong aircraft.

How many clues does it take?

Not an aircraft.
Not maritime.
No wheels.
Modern military, not civilian.
Nothing to do with outer space.
Not too large but certainly not hand held and is quite topical in the UK atm.
Not an Europa anti-ship missile (closest guess thus far).
Not a Brimstone (also extremely close).
Not the F-35B Lightning II (but again very close).

Shirley someone can guess it now.

[Buddahaid]

Tomahawk cruise missiles now being used in Syria then.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Raptor pod?

And could we try to copy the relevant pic at or near the top of each page? Helps us people using phones trying to go back several pages.

[Oberon]

Storm Shadow? :hmmm:

[Stealhead]

Hellfire AGM-114? Or perhaps AGM-65 Maverick?

[Jimbuna]

Yeah :yeah:

Crafty bugga stays out of the early stages and assesses the initial guesses/answers before sneaking in under the back door and landing the rabbit punch...now that's a strategy that works :)

Oh christ...right...errr...one moment... (didn't actually think I'd get that one since the last Storm Shadow I saw was green :haha:)

Ok then, what's this?

Well I had a feeling that was about to happen! I had this salted away before Buddahaid's jet-powered loco, so that maybe made it no longer such a good idea!

[Catfish]

I first thought it was the Supermarine S5 world champion from 1927..
And now even a german one my father rode in :dead:

http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/wp-content/gallery/british-racers/supermarine-s-5_1.jpg

[Catfish]

Yes, was built in several variations, with more pointed prop tips, and also a high angle of attack prop of almost 45 degrees (S6 b here though):

Wonderful plane, but then most of its rivals like the Macchi were not exactly ugly. My father was very fond of this plane, even bought me a medal model of the Schneider Pokal S5 :). He worked at the Junkers works during the 1930ies, and aerodynamics were the way to go ..

[Eichhörnchen]

You were all supposed to fall into that cunning trap. The prop also looks very like the one fitted later to the prototype Spitfire, K5054.

My favourite Schneider Trophy racer was the white-painted S.4 (built a vacform model of this once, from a long gone company called "Airframe": beautiful plane)

[Eichhörnchen]

^Including Jimmy Doolittle's Schneider cup 1925 winner Curtiss R3C-2...232 mph-(246 straight cpurse!) in a biplane! A new drop-forged, duraluminum Reed propeller was utilized, as were a slight change in pontoon design. Broke the existing speed record by more than 54 mph!

Not a Cheetah, and the claws do retract.

Nope.


Ok, another clue is required I think, and a slight alteration. I said 19th century earlier, however more recent information that has come to light indicates that it was actually acquired in 1799 and it was likely made sometime between then and 1792.

[Eichhörnchen]

Zeeleeuw (Walrus-class)

[Oberon]

Zeeleeuw (Walrus-class)

That's an SSK, not an SSN. :03:

[Eichhörnchen]

Sierra II class, perhaps the "Pskow"

[Herr-Berbunch]

Sierra II class, perhaps the "Pskow"

Is the Pskow the Aussie version of a milchkuh, but with Fosters.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this a link or an answer and can a link that you must click on be an answer?

Think I will change my previous answer to the correct answer for the steal...:woot:

[u crank]

Is this a link or an answer and can a link that you must click on be an answer?

It's not the answer because the answer was already given.

Must be the Severodvinsk then. :hmmm:

Think I will change my previous answer to the correct answer for the steal...:woot:Worth a try.:D

[Armistead]

It's not the answer because the answer was already given.



Worth a try.:D

Maybe he wants the class...

[Jimbuna]

Over to you Jamie :up:

[Oberon]

Alrighty then, here's one I prepared earlier.

What's this a part of?

[Eichhörnchen]

This legend usually appears on aircraft, although those look like bolts, which normally do not: is it an aircraft?

[Oberon]

is it an aircraft?

Nope

[Eichhörnchen]

There's something about it that says "landing craft", like a Higgins Boat?

[Jimbuna]

An AFV?

[Oberon]

There's something about it that says "landing craft", like a Higgins Boat?

Nope

An AFV?

No As, although it does do some F and it is a V...well, a V of sorts...non-motorised though... :yep:

[Jimbuna]

One of those radio controlled midget tanks used by the Germans in WWII?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it towed?

[Oberon]

One of those radio controlled midget tanks used by the Germans in WWII?

Nope, don't believe that Germany has ever used it. The Swiss do though.

Is it towed?

This particular version is, yes. :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it World War Two?

[Oberon]

Is it World War Two?

Nope, although the concept was first developed in the later years of WWII.

[Eichhörnchen]

Do personnel travel inside it, or only man it when it's stationary?

[Armistead]

Swiss Oerlikon 35

[Eichhörnchen]

I was tending toward some kind of personnel carrier which (you say) also "fights" but this one is towed, so it would maybe fall into the artillery category. Some kind of MLRS?

[Jimbuna]

Swiss Oerlikon 35

I reckon so :yep:

[Oberon]

I reckon so :yep:

You reckon incorrectly

I was tending toward some kind of personnel carrier which (you say) also "fights" but this one is towed, so it would maybe fall into the artillery category. Some kind of MLRS?

It doesn't really fall into the artillery category.

Swiss Oerlikon 35

Nope.

Another clue...

It's been around for forty-three years, and isn't due to be retired until around 2020.

[Oberon]

Do personnel travel inside it, or only man it when it's stationary?

Sorry, just spotted this. They only man it when its stationary. :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a mobile radar array?

[u crank]

Rapier surface to air missile.

[Jimbuna]

Mobile radar system for fire control and detection?

[Oberon]

Rapier surface to air missile.

Boom! The man nails it again!

Boom! The man nails it again!

:salute:

Have one shortly.

What is this?

[Eichhörnchen]

Aeroplane?

[Jimbuna]

A tyre?

[u crank]

Aeroplane?

Yes it is.

A tyre?

You mean tire. :O:

No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Those rounded lines suggest a C-54, and it looks like two fingers giving a "Victory" salute (American-style that is) which would further suggest a military plane.

Is it a C-54?

Not C-54 but yes military.

[ikalugin]

Sadly I am rather bad with the legacy desighns (legacy b/c of riverted construction), but my guess would be a 40s-50s aircraft.

[Jimbuna]

C-133?

If not, which decade?

[u crank]

Came into service in early 50's.

Not C-133.

[Oberon]

Constellation?

[ikalugin]

C123?

I mean it doesnt look like the ejection hatch of C-1A to me.

[Jimbuna]

C-131 Samaritan?

[ikalugin]

C-131 Samaritan?
Shouldn't be it, as there are no curves on any of the windows that we seen on the original immage.

[u crank]

Constellation?

No.

C123?

I mean it doesnt look like the ejection hatch of C-1A to me.

No.

Not a cargo aircraft.

[ikalugin]

R3Y? Or is it one try only?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this guy with 2 fingers up coming out the door of the plane?

[ikalugin]

Is this guy with 2 fingers up coming out the door of the plane?

Quite possible, yes.

[Jimbuna]

R3Y? Or is it one try only?

Just a few things to keep the game running:
Anyone can post one guess until there is a posting from the starter to say whether or not it has been answered correctly. At that time, you may post a new guess.
Post a new image if it's your turn within 24 hours after the acknowledgement
Please check regularly (at least once per 24 hours) for new answers if it's your turn.
The question should be "where is this?" or "what is this?" or "who is this?". In case of the "where", specify how close you want it to be (for example: "what city").
