[Jimbuna]

Nope.

CLUE: Twin-seater.

[mapuc]

Picture from Turkey ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

I've no idea where the picture was taken Markus but when taking into consideration which country the aircraft belongs to I'd be quite inclined to say it wasn't Turkey.

[Catfish]

[Eichhörnchen]

Could you look at my post #8535 please?

[Jimbuna]

OK, gents, here we go:


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13642


What's this a part of?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is that a windscreen?

[Jimbuna]

Aircraft cockpit?

[Ostfriese]

Is that a windscreen?




Yep.

[Ostfriese]

Aircraft cockpit?


Nope

[Jimbuna]

Not electric.

[Jimbuna]

[Ostfriese]

Internal combustion?


Yes.

[mapuc]

Some type of motorcycle ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Four wheels?

[Ostfriese]

Some type of motorcycle ?

Markus


No, not a motorcycle.

[Jimbuna]

Four wheels?

:hmmm:

[Ostfriese]

Four wheels?


Sorry, didn't see that one. Yes, four wheels.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it used by police?

[Ostfriese]

Is it used by police?


^No.

[mapuc]

One of these four wheelers or ATV ?

Markus

[Ostfriese]

One of these four wheelers or ATV ?

Markus


Two-Wheel-Drive. If "ATV" stands for "All Terrain Vehicle": no.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it used competitively for sport?

[Ostfriese]

Is it used competitively for sport?


No.


Hint: though it was built and even driven, it never went into mass production.

[Jimbuna]

Two seats?

[Ostfriese]

Two seats?
Yes.

[Aktungbby]

german?

[Eichhörnchen]

In production or still a prototype?

[Ostfriese]

german?


No.



In production or still a prototype?


It's not in production, it has never been and it was never intented to be in production, so it's not really a prototype either.

[mapuc]

Used on a racetrack ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Built for a film?

[Eichhörnchen]

Has Dick Van Dyke got one?

[Ostfriese]

Used on a racetrack ?

Markus


No



Built for a film?


Not in its original configuration, but it was considerably rebuilt after a few years, and in the latter role it actually became quite famous. Addendum: it was also used for a film in its original configuration, butit was not built for that purpose.

[Ostfriese]

Has Dick Van Dyke got one?


I doubt it :D

[Catfish]

The classic batmobile?? Lincoln Futura from 1966?

[Ostfriese]

The classic batmobile??


https://wallpapercave.com/wp/Y6gOiWm.jpg


Indeed. Originally the Lincoln Futura, a hand-built concept car, it eventually became the legendary batmobile in the 1966 TV series.



Over to you :Kaleun_Salute:

[Catfish]

I just had a faint idea about cars with two windshields .. nice one :up:

And even Vinnie didn't strike :hmmm:
:D

[Catfish]

Ok what is this ...

https://i.postimg.cc/436vBBDY/deeetale.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Aktungbby]

A sailboat!:arrgh!::yeah:...there, I struck!:O:

[Catfish]

you struck alright :shucks: And sure looks like it, or does it?

[mapuc]

It may look like a pair of sailboat, which it isn't

Some kind of tool ?

Markus

[Catfish]

^ It is one object [edit: not a pair). It sails and swims.

[Eichhörnchen]

solar powered?

[Catfish]

^ no.
Or yes. After all, winds, fossil energy and all this, is all coming, at least initially, from the sun :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

Electric powered?

[Catfish]

^ No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does it transport people?

[Catfish]

^ Yes

[Eichhörnchen]

2 or more?

[Catfish]

Can be more.
I think up to ten, sometimes only three.

Hint, another photo

https://i.postimg.cc/VLxN9Ghn/deeetale-3.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it intended for military use?

[Catfish]

Military and civilian

[Eichhörnchen]

pre WW2?

[Catfish]

Yes, pre ww2

[Jimbuna]

Used in the America's Cup?

[Aktungbby]

that was my thought too

[Catfish]

No. Also it would have been most probably disqualified :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this the only one of these to have been built?

[mapuc]

Was it built for 'sail' on land ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Is this the only one of these to have been built?
No, though it never came to mass production.

Was it built for 'sail' on land ?
Markus
No, on sea. Though it could roll out of the water under own power, with a special 'carriage'.
As mentioned before it is not a sailing boat, though it could also swim and sail.

Hint: it has been exported to Turkey and Japan, for evaluation.

[Catfish]

https://i.postimg.cc/kXWHt3sS/deeetale2.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

There's another dimension to this :03:

[Aktungbby]

does it submerge?

[Catfish]

No ....

[Eichhörnchen]

Made in Turkey then?

[Catfish]

Not built by Turkey
See https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2941941&postcount=8615

[mapuc]

Built in Pakistan ?

Markus

[Catfish]

No..

[Eichhörnchen]

Are they all gone now?


Edit: Catfish seems to be all gone now - the boss must be in the office

[Catfish]

As far as i know there is not one left.
It is not known how much existed, guess is 4-9, but sure not more than 10.

[Aktungbby]

there were only 9

[Eichhörnchen]

Did they have screws (as in propeller)?

[Catfish]

no screws. Propellers. 2.

[mapuc]

Was these propellers placed back on this sailboat ?

Markus

[Catfish]

As you already wrote it is not a *sailing* boat... if you replace 'sailing' with 'flying' though...
Placed in tractor position

[mapuc]

I have absolutely no clue what it could be. I'm fishing in the dark.

Therefore my wild guesses

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

Some kind of flying submarine? I've looked and looked though

[Catfish]

Well i wrote there is another dimension involved and Vinnie asked 'does it submerge?' and i answered no.
So the other dimension is... ?
Exchange sailing boat with.. umm.. flying boat??
I bet Vinnie already knows.. therefore his number of 9 built ;)

[Aktungbby]

You get: The Rohrbach Ro III was a twin-engined, all-metal flying boat built in Germany in the mid-1920s. A development of the Ro II, it could be configured either as an airliner or a reconnaissance aircraft. It was developed into the similar but more powerful Ro IIIa Rodra (Ro + dr(ei) + a), intended only as a military reconnaissance/bomber. Four Ro IIIs were bought by Japan and two Rodras by Turkey. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-10799%2C_Deutsches_Wasserflugzeug_in_t%C3%BCrkisch er_Marine.jpg Four Ro IIIs were delivered to Japan in 1925 as Rohrbach R-1s. Two of these had their original 270 kW (360 hp) Eagles engines replaced by 340 kW (450 hp) Hispano-Suiza or Lorraine 12E Courlis engines, and were re-designated R-2 and R-3. At least one Ro III appeared on the Japanese civil register as J-BHAE and was used by the Japan Airline Co. Mitsubishi bought a licence to build Rohrbach aircraft in Japan but it seems not to have been used.
Two Rodras were sold to the Turkish Navy and based at Smyrna. After four years of operation, they were given a lengthy examination by the German aviation authorities, who found them in good order and with no safety problems.[1]
Two Rodras were bought by and tested by the RAF at Martlesham Heath. I dyslexically miscounted there were only 8 sold; not nine. I actually saw this looking for a WWW puzzle over ten years ago; but figured if two were sold to the RAF Jimbuna would get it
too quickly. I just couldn't flash on where I'd seen one till the Turkish markings on the empennage turned up

[Catfish]

^ This is it of course :)

It was built to start and land on the high seas, and bad weather. It was tested with different engines and while it had excellent features and capabilities, there was not much interest at the time.
Two were sent to Turkey, and four to Japan.

Over to Aktungbby :D

[Eichhörnchen]

:har::salute: That was a good one - throwing us off the scent is the best tactic and this certainly did that (with the sails). I don't know where I got the idea it was a sub, even after re-reading the questions & answers

[Jimbuna]

Nice one Kai :salute:

[Catfish]

[...] I don't know where I got the idea it was a sub, even after re-reading the questions & answers
Probably because i posted cutouts of the rudder, wich looks just like a submarine tower/sail.. lol

[Eichhörnchen]

^ And I thought I was sneaky :haha:

[Catfish]

:D you are!

Where's Aktungbby?

[Aktungbby]

Sorry I'm late: my WIN 10 photo editing
has become difficult to accomplish Whats this?>https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13643

[Ostfriese]

Is it supposed to be stationary?

[Jimbuna]

Aeroplane?

[Aktungbby]

Is it supposed to be stationary?nope

Aeroplane?on occasion??!:timeout:

[Jimbuna]

Flying boat?

[Catfish]

First i thought of it as a river boat, but the windows..

Is it the Caproni CA.60 triplane, that never flew?

[Ostfriese]

First i thought of it as a river boat, but the windows..

Is it the Caproni CA.60 triplane, that never flew?


Damn, i knew I had seen that before, but only looked for a biplane. Nice one :)

[Aktungbby]

too easy! Catfish takes it.

[Catfish]

Ok thanks, but since i am working abroad it is a chore to post via (not-so-smart) dumbphone - can someone else please post the next one?

[Jimbuna]

Never one to be shy :O:

What is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/L8nWwmk0/fhtyytg.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Aktungbby]

a warship?

[Jimbuna]

Yes.

[mapuc]

A small vessel = a corvette size

Markus

[Jimbuna]

A bit smaller than a corvette Markus.

[Ostfriese]

A river craft?

[Jimbuna]

Have been operated in rivers as well as sea as faras I'm aware.

CLUE: Operational today.

[Ostfriese]

...tends to alert someone with Ost in their :subsim: moniker!:O::Kaleun_Party::()1:


Ostfriesland (Eastern Frisia) is actually further west than Nordfriesland (Northern Frisia), and to make it even more fun Ostfriesland is actually in the very northwest of Germany.

Anyway, I read this thread even if no celestial directions are mentioned :D


Here we go with the next one:
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13644
For better viewability (is that the right word?) this picture has been enlarged, it would have been as small as a typical Jimbuna-picture otherwise :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this used in a leisure activity?

[Ostfriese]

Is this used in a leisure activity?


It's not easy to answer this question properly.

I tend to say "yes", but you'd have to really stretch the definition of "to use" here. It has, however, definitely something to do with a leisure activity, even though this also requires a bit of stretching.

[mapuc]

Used in a puppet show e.g. Thunderbirds ?

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it used for an activity which derives from what was originally a military activity?

[Ostfriese]

Used in a puppet show e.g. Thunderbirds ?

Markus


Not "puppet", but "show" is not a bad direction.


Is it used for an activity which derives from what was originally a military activity?


That's a clear no.

[Aktungbby]

does it use batteries?

[Ostfriese]

does it use batteries?


Not in the original design; AFAIK, but I wouldn't be completely surprised if there were smaller copies which require batteries. Still, I'm not certain about this.

[Aktungbby]

a toy?

[Ostfriese]

a toy?


Toy versions of it have been produced, yes, and I wouldn't rule out that toy versions which require batteries have been made and sold, but as I said I don't know for sure.

[Otto Harkaman]

Used in a puppet show e.g. Thunderbirds ?

Markus


That is my thought as well


https://blog.firestartoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/thunderbirds.jpg

[Ostfriese]

Not Thunderbirds, and originally not a toy.

[Eichhörnchen]

Featured in Star Trek?

[Ostfriese]

Featured in Star Trek?

Yes-

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it something used by Doctor McCoy?

Buddababy should be doing this - he knows all about this stuff - I'll give him a call

[mapuc]

Is it something used by Doctor McCoy?

No. The picture is most likely taken by an ordinary camera.

Hint-We are in the Nature

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

[Jimbuna]

Jungle leaf?

[mapuc]

It is caterpillar, not Cabbage White Larvae though.

Markus

No

Hint. You should stay away from these caterpillars

[Eichhörnchen]

Processionary caterpillars?

[mapuc]

Processionary caterpillars?

Yes can you also tell us their latin name and their nickname ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

You forgot to ask what they ate for their dinner last Easter Monday :haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes can you also tell us their latin name and their nickname ?

Markus

Thaumetopoea processionea - familiar name OPM? There is also a Pine Processionary moth

[mapuc]

Thaumetopoea processionea - familiar name OPM? There is also a Pine Processionary moth

That is correct Over to you :Kaleun_Salute:

Got the idea after an issue in the news last week where they told us about this caterpillar and how poison it is(You can die if you come in contact with it). Can be found in Denmark now. Have been in Germany and Poland for decades

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Indeed, the oak processionary (Eichenprozessionsspinner in German, a language which allows unlimited connection of nouns :D) has been a plague for quite some time over here, and even in my region in the north it is fought with nets over trees and insecticides sprayed from helicopters.

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/Af0hiLA.jpeg What's this?

[Ostfriese]

Some sort of shoulder armor?

[Catfish]

Is that lower part a kind of spring?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Osty:- Not the shoulder but yes - some sort of armour

@ Kai:- Not a spring

[mapuc]

Roman ?

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Nope

Clue: Not worn in combat

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

[Ostfriese]

An old diving suit, like the Carmagnolle Diving Suit from the late 19th century?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Exactly that - the Carmagnolle deep sea atmospheric diving suit, patented in 1882

https://i.imgur.com/RREj8FJ.jpeg Well done, Osty!

[Ostfriese]

It will take some time, I‘ll be in court all afternoon.

[Jimbuna]

Hopefully your custodial sentence won't be a lengthy one :03:

[Aktungbby]

It will take some time, I‘ll be in court all afternoon.

[Ostfriese]

Hopefully your custodial sentence won't be a lengthy one :03:


If only it was that funny. My company and I have sued a certain German online portal which spews fake news, conspiracy theories, right-wing bull**** and other crap(there's a good chance you have read something from them because a certain somebody has a tendency to link their "articles" here).
That online portal has repeatedly misquoted my company's press releases as well as my scientific work, and has created a plethora of lies around these "misquotes", which have caused a lot of trouble over the past years and which have been one of the reasons why I switched projects a few years ago. Today the verdict was announced, which means it has finally come to an end and I can at least talk about this. Let's just say they have been ordered to pay quite a sum in damages, and if they have any spark of common sense left they will never mention anything regarding my company again.

Anyway, you want new fodder, and I hope I won't disappoint:
What's this and where is it?

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Markus


No, sorry.

[Aktungbby]

...more than sufficient. /\ Of course it is! In fact, downright impeccable! :arrgh!: Is it a light house?

[Ostfriese]

Thanks :D Don't forget, I'm German, and as Henning Wehn once said "The difference between British Humor and German Humor is, that the Germans laugh once the work is done and the British laugh instead of doing any meaningful work."


It's indeed a lighthouse, but where is it?

[Aktungbby]

Thanks :D Don't forget, I'm German, and as Henning Wehn once said "The difference between British Humor and German Humor is, that the Germans laugh once the work is done and the British laugh instead of doing any meaningful work."


It's indeed a lighthouse, but where is it? My last name isn't **h* for nothing,:O: and my great-grandmother was a Sarah Koenig from the German part of Silesia; who immigrated to Brooklyn, NY in 'Merika before 1900; and had four daughters and my grandfather (5!!)for whom I'm named. None of her relatives still back in the Fatherland survived the 1940's??!! Pilsom on the North Sea?> https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/11/34/2c/65/a-close-up-of-the-pilsum.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

"The difference between British Humor and German Humor is, that the Germans laugh once the work is done and the British laugh instead of doing any meaningful work."

We find Henning Wehn to be hilarious here and your quote reminds me of the Camp Kommandant's observation in The Great Escape: "You British will laugh at anything - but mostly you laugh at nothing"

He was dead right

[Jimbuna]

Has someone succumbed to their dementia?

[Ostfriese]

Has someone succumbed to their dementia?


He's been switched off for the weekend :D

^ No it's a piece of artwork

[Jimbuna]

Something of yours?

[Eichhörnchen]

Oh and I almost forgot: you'll never get this

[Jimbuna]

Painting?

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes it looks like a painting based on a photo - it's reproduced in print

[Aktungbby]

by a famous artiste?

[Eichhörnchen]

No - I don't know who

Does the photo/painting or reproduction by someone unknown depict a view from a ship, or is this also unknown? :D

I don't know whether this is a view from a ship - you are not standing on the thing that these rod structures are a part of

So you are hanging in the air?

As a viewer you are just observing this thing - whether you imagine yourself hanging in the air or sitting in a boat is not really relevant, however...

Clue:- the mystery object is in water
