@ Vinny:- Caught up with your sleep then - no it's not an artwork

[Aktungbby]

does it still exist?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not as far as is known

[Catfish]

Some hint would be nice. I can post a "photo" of some reflection on some window and ask you what it is.
So, from a film?

[Eichhörnchen]

It looks very much as though this is from a moving picture

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/tqQTT4O.jpeg and https://i.imgur.com/Wsfm1pb.jpeg - a little bit more

[Aktungbby]

Still standing today?

[Catfish]

English film?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Aktung - it is indeed nade of metal

@ Catfish - if indeed it is a still from a film then it would be an English/British film, yes

[Catfish]

Is it a still of a film? :D

[Eichhörnchen]

I said that it looks very much as though this is a still from a film - but I honestly don't know. I think I'd put money on it though

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/0UCifZy.jpeg Here's a generous clue :D

[Jimbuna]

Space related?

@ Jim & Catfish: no to both, although I can see why you'd think so

A flying boat?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Aktung: not a one-off

@ Osty: not a flying boat but there exists a connection

[Ostfriese]

Short Stirling? Short brothers produced mostly flying boats, the Stirling was an exception.

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/EHv0eoX.jpeg

Correct! You are one clever guy - you got the connection right away

[Ostfriese]

Will come with a new one shortly, have to go out first.

[Ostfriese]

Here we go with the first one in 2025:


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13632


What's this?

[Jimbuna]

Onewheel GT-S Series ?

Definitely more than one wheel, so: no.

[Eichhörnchen]

Serious question: is this photo upside down?

[Jimbuna]

[Ostfriese]

Serious question: is this photo upside down?


I understand where the question comes from. No, the picture has not been rotated in any way.

[Ostfriese]

No, not a racing car.

[Ostfriese]

Another hint: I said that it had more than one wheel, but who said anything about four wheels? :D

[Jimbuna]

Cyklon Cyklonette?

[Ostfriese]

Cyklon Cyklonette?


Too early (the car in the picture was built in the 1930s, the Cyklonette was about 30 years earlier).

^ Nope - looks just like one don't it? :yep:

[Aktungbby]

[Jimbuna]

Household item?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish: no

@ Jim: no

[Aktungbby]

does it have handles?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Yes, just a webbing strap handle on each side

https://i.imgur.com/FgWZVcr.jpeg Like so...

[Jimbuna]

A piece of military equipment?

[Aktungbby]

Moth trap :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/cWxSijl.jpeg

Thank heaven for Google Lens - I forgot to clear the power unit dammit

[Jimbuna]

I honest to God don't use Google Lens but if you have a link I'll certainly give it a ganders.

I do use Reverse Image Search on occasion though.

[Jimbuna]

Forget the above, I've found it.

Righteo then, what is this beauty a painting of?

https://i.postimg.cc/SsVZGqVd/blob.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

HMS Victory?

PS - I'm impressed you got the moth trap - I didn't reckon anyone would know it even if I showed the whole thing :haha:

[Jimbuna]

HMS Victory?

PS - I'm impressed you got the moth trap - I didn't reckon anyone would know it even if I showed the whole thing :haha:

Your pretty close and admittedly I did turn to Reverse Image Search for help.

CLUE: This beauty is a little younger than Victory.

[Eichhörnchen]

Did this ship take part in the battle of Trafalgar?

[Jimbuna]

No she wasn't a warship.

[Eichhörnchen]

A clipper ship?

[Jimbuna]

Most definitely

[Eichhörnchen]

Have to ask the obvious: is it the Cutty Sark?

[Jimbuna]

No but by way of a clue it was built up north.

[Eichhörnchen]

Koh-I-Noor?

[Jimbuna]

Close but that was rigged as a Barque.

[Eichhörnchen]

Cilurnum?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not and a clue by way of an advisory note....ships built up north weren't only built on the Tyne :03:

[Jimbuna]

Further Clue: Had a lifespan of less than ten years.

[Eichhörnchen]

I did already look - but was it built on Teeside?

[Jimbuna]

Not Teeside :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Sea Witch?

[Catfish]

Built or changed for an expedition?

[Catfish]

^ belay this.. Thermopylae? At least built in Aberdeen ..

[Jimbuna]

Sea Witch?

Nope :)

CLUE: At the time of her launch she was the largest vessel to be launched on said river.

[Jimbuna]

^ belay this.. Thermopylae? At least built in Aberdeen ..

Too far north.

[Eichhörnchen]

the Lord of The Isles?

[Jimbuna]

No but where was that built?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Greenock

The Gauntlet?

[Catfish]

Serica?

[Jimbuna]

^ Greenock

The Gauntlet?

Not Scotland but on the east coast.

[Jimbuna]

Serica?

Afraid not.

CLUE: Ended up as a shipwreck.

[Eichhörnchen]

I'm afraid I'm all clippered out - I never knew there were so many of the damn things :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Me too.

Almost a giveaway clue: Built on Wearside.

[Eichhörnchen]

Lammemuir?

[Jimbuna]

Nope

CLUE: At the time of launching she was the largest vessel ever launched on the Wear.

[Aktungbby]

Great Republic?

[Jimbuna]

Great Republic?

No but I had the feeling there were sufficient clues for you to come in and steal it :)

CLUE: She was a three-masted clipper.

[Eichhörnchen]

^ No - that was built in the US (I'm a bloody expert now) - I was just about to say I'm going to leave this to Vinny and he appears like a genie :haha: - And I've been mistakenly looking at clipper ships which were 10 years old when they got wrecked but now I re-read the clues I see it says "Less than" - I need a rest

[mapuc]

Was the hull made of metal instead of wood ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

No but I had the feeling there were sufficient clues for you to come in and steal it :)

CLUE: She was a three-masted clipper.

^ No - that was built in the US (I'm a bloody expert now) - I was just about to say I'm going to leave this to Vinny and he appears like a genie :haha: - And I've been mistakenly looking at clipper ships which were 10 years old when they got wrecked but now I re-read the clues I see it says "Less than" - I need a restI knew McKay built it and it was both a 4 masted barque and three masted after reconstruction. I'm blue faced after looking at "all famous clipper oil paintings"(with yellow hull striping) and can get nothing from 'all clippers built at Wearside.'

[Eichhörnchen]

^ You and me both

[Aktungbby]

I was just about to say I'm going to leave this to Vinny and he appears like a genie :haha: - :hmph:....I only appear like a genie in WaS games!:O::arrgh!:

[Aktungbby]

Not Scotland but on the east coast.directly on the east coast or upstream on the Wear river?

[Jimbuna]

^ No - that was built in the US (I'm a bloody expert now) - I was just about to say I'm going to leave this to Vinny and he appears like a genie :haha: - And I've been mistakenly looking at clipper ships which were 10 years old when they got wrecked but now I re-read the clues I see it says "Less than" - I need a rest

I do appreciate your honesty Glynn or should that read stupidity :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

The Royal Charter ?

[Jimbuna]

Was the hull made of metal instead of wood ?

Markus

All timber Markus.

[Jimbuna]

directly on the east coast or upstream on the Wear river?

On the Wear but how far upstream the yard was I have no idea.

[Jimbuna]

The Royal Charter ?

She was built at Sandycroft Ironworks, River Dee, Deeside, Wales, UK

[Eichhörnchen]

Duncan Dunbar?

[Jimbuna]

BINGO!

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

https://i.postimg.cc/g22kG3r0/GAS-065a.jpg (https://postimg.cc/4mjT576C)

Over to you :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

Thank God for that - I had seen Royal Charter given as a Sunderland job too, I'm sure - that yard was what I'd focused on at the end there. Anyway...

https://i.imgur.com/9xnmSoo.jpeg

You'll never get this one

[Aktungbby]

Dang! In tediously looking at the 4 shipyards directly(#'s 11-14 on the Wear River shipyards map) "on the east coast" as Jimbuna put it, JL Thompson, Sunderland Co Ltd., Osbourne Graham, Bartram & Sons, I took a long look at Duncan Dunbar's(short career-span) unique yellow stripe but was thrown off by the false gun ports not matching Jimbuna's original (somewhat blurry) puzzle...it also didn't help that I misread a clue and was looking for a barque-rigged clipper not a full-rig one... nice one Eich! I'm returning to my genie lantern now. :wah:

[Jimbuna]

Case padding?

[Eichhörnchen]

Sorry - just got back from an exciting patrol - no not a padding or lining for anything

[Aktungbby]

...made from synthetic material?

[Eichhörnchen]

It's metal

[Aktungbby]

used to interlock with other ones?

[mapuc]

Something to do with NASA ?

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Vinny and Markus - no to both

[Aktungbby]

used by hand?

[Eichhörnchen]

^@ Vinny - yes

https://i.imgur.com/onLQixT.jpeg

[Aktungbby]

for work or recreation?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Vinny: both - depending on circumstances, although it was not originally for recreational use.

Clue 1: This is a small but vital part of a much larger item - but I'm not looking for the larger item, just this part of it

Clue 2: My photos have greatly magnified it - it's actually only one quarter of the size shown here

[Ostfriese]

Some sort of optical device, like for exact pointing/positioning?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Indeed it is

https://i.imgur.com/UULnJzl.jpeg

[Ostfriese]

Aiming device for a telescope?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Nope

[Jimbuna]

Rifle sight?

[Eichhörnchen]

Correct - the "leaf sight" of the Lee Enfield .303 no4 rifle; it flips up for target shooting then down to raise the battle sight for combat. I was rated an Army Cadet marksman with this & my red badge is shown here - the one topped by a crown

https://i.imgur.com/U1KDyYu.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/UHgsoZu.jpeg

https://i.imgur.com/iWjPSPT.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/CuhnKO9.jpeg

[Jimbuna]

You'll never get this one

Well that aged well didn't it? :)

Oh and Vinny I'll not undo your deletion cos I'm a good lad even if I do agree with your deleted comment :O:

Okay the, what is this little beauty?

https://i.postimg.cc/9Q1SDpFN/blob.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

Vehicle?

[Jimbuna]

Reinstate my post if you will please. I'm not sure why I can't see my own picture, holding my civil war Enfield with similar gunsight, from my own :subsim: album on my end?? I've posted it before with no problems...:hmmm:

Sorted but I suspect you may have copied a faulty link but if you click on it then should be viewable.

https://i.postimg.cc/vH0kBhm2/user313053-pic12622-1656878308.jpg (https://postimg.cc/svZwHp75)

[Jimbuna]

Vehicle?

Smaller than a vehicle and quite handy at times.

[Eichhörnchen]

Two wheels?

[Aktungbby]

https://i.postimg.cc/vH0kBhm2/user313053-pic12622-1656878308.jpg< Thanks for posting the picture??! I can post your image of the pic using 'copy image link' but cannot transfer it from my own :subsim: album apparently....:k_confused: Looking up "what happened to the 'copy image link' " function I've used for 11 years, I'm not the only one with this issue. I'm still on WIN 10; Most of the posters with the copy image link problem had upgraded to WIN 11....

[Jimbuna]

@Vinny

I've replied to your PM but that was prior to reading your post above.

[Jimbuna]

Two wheels?

No eheels.

CLUE: I have taken the colour out of the picture to make the answer less obvious.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a household item?

[Jimbuna]

No but you could say it's a tool of the trade.

[Eichhörnchen]

Powered by electricity?

[Jimbuna]

Yep

[Eichhörnchen]

For cleaning?

[Jimbuna]

No

CLUE: This is a great leveller during an altercation.

[Eichhörnchen]

A taser :haha:

[Jimbuna]

I knew that was the golden giveaway :)

https://i.postimg.cc/K8yyChNS/1-si.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Take it away :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/e1szhT9.jpeg You'll never get this one

[Aktungbby]

part of a uniform?

[Jimbuna]

An item of Moiras clothing?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ No to both (@ Jim - she was amused)

[Jimbuna]

A household item?

[Eichhörnchen]

It was at one time

[Jimbuna]

Tablecloth?

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/pTtCmHA.jpeg ^ Nope not a tablecloth

[Aktungbby]

Is it french?

[Eichhörnchen]

It may have been made in France, I don't know. It wasn't found in France so I see no reason to believe so

https://i.imgur.com/db4cXCT.jpeg

[Aktungbby]

linin needlepoint?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, it looks like a simple printed jacquard

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/34GJUuH.jpeg This is perhaps the most significant part of the item

[Jimbuna]

Cushion cover?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ No but getting closer

Clue: The significance of this item - mundane in itself - is historical

[Jimbuna]

Curtains?
