[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/Fc8SjsH.jpeg

@ Vinny - almost certainly the parts you see in this picture are made of steel; other parts may not be, although I've just discovered that this is still only a concept and not built yet

[mapuc]

An airplane ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

Aircraft?

An airplane ?

Markus...already asked. Is it a tool?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Not an airplane and not a tool

https://i.imgur.com/Q4pDVOL.jpeg

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Vinny - not a toy but a model, but please re-read my post #9580

@ Markus - not a submarine

[Ostfriese]

Is it used in/under water?

[Eichhörnchen]

[Jimbuna]

A parrot?

Not a parrot.

a bird of prey?

Partly so.

Shoebill?

Nope.

CLUE: Whilst all of you have probably seen one I can almost guarantee none of you have owned one other than a toy version perhaps.

[Catfish]

Is it real, or something from a tale like Harry Potter

[Jimbuna]

Is it real, or something from a tale like Harry Potter

Just about there Kai :yeah:

[Catfish]

The griffin from Harry Potter? A "hippogriff", named 'Buckbeak' in the english books

[Jimbuna]

[Catfish]

european?
Yes!
Heinkel He 177?
Nein.

[Jimbuna]

German?

[Catfish]

Ja !

[Eichhörnchen]

Junkers Ju-89

[Catfish]

Oh no, Glynn got it :D

Really thought Jim or Aktung would make it, Glynn showed some reluctance :haha: but after "Germany" and "four engines" there was not much left.
The HE 177 was a good idea, also had 4 engines.

Ja, the Junkers JU 89 it is. Built in 1937 to bomb distant targets, it was able to carry from 1.8 tons to 10 tons ordnance, depending on altitude. The second prototype broke some altitude records at the time. As abomber it was considered as unnecessary, just like the ME 264 four-engined bomber, since there was no strategy in the german Luftwaffe for those at the time.

[Eichhörnchen]

That's a fine looking thing - I don't think I've come across that before

https://i.imgur.com/agC26ni.jpeg But maybe you've come across this - what exactly is it?

[Catfish]

Some kind of fabric?

[mapuc]

It looks like waterdrops on a surface

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish and Markus - no to both, although it's just possible there's some fabric behind this but I can't be sure

[Aktungbby]

https://i.imgur.com/agC26ni.jpeg But maybe you've come across this - what exactly is it?

:hmmm:...the verticle fin of an orca? :timeout:

[Aktungbby]

Here's another clue that should point you in the right direction:

https://i.imgur.com/eE6Cjqe.jpeg

[Jimbuna]

LOADS of questions: how many people used it? Did it go in water? Civilian? Record-breaker? Who used it?

Eichhörnchen - Not a truck

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it from a movie?

[mapuc]

Eichhörnchen - No

Markus

[Aktungbby]

is it expensive?:D

[mapuc]

Aktungbby - Well I guess that only a few thousands could afford it.

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

Do people travel inside?

[Catfish]

How much have been built, or is it some "one-of-a-kind" experimental car?

[mapuc]

Eichhörnchen -You could only travel inside this vehicle

Catfish - The model came in 6 versions, where one of them had a production of 349,348 produced during its production years and the other was produced in a total of 65,502. The other 4 was produced in little numbers.

Hint: The car was also sold to Britain

I admit it was the oddly specific number of cars produced that gave it away, but in my defense I can say my grandfather drove one of those in the 1970s, and there's a picture of me as a cute little 2-year-old at the wheel of that car. *sigh* Both the car and the grandfather are long gone.


Anyway, here's the new one:


What's this?
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13724

[Eichhörnchen]

Would this be found in an office?

[Ostfriese]

Would this be found in an office?


Extremely unlikely.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is there a connection with law enforcement?

[Ostfriese]

Is there a connection with law enforcement?


Not directly, but law enforcement may call people with that thing for help im very specific situations.

[Eichhörnchen]

So it's a communications device?

[Ostfriese]

So it's a communications device?
No, sorry.


Addendum: I see were that came from, so let me rephrase my previous post:


Law enforcement may -in certain specific situations- call people for help who will bring that thing with them.

[Eichhörnchen]

Tazer?

[mapuc]

Are these used, when there has been an accident on a road ?

Markus

[Ostfriese]

Tazer?


Doesn't law enforcement bring their own tasers? Not a taser.

Are these used, when there has been an accident on a road ?

Markus


No, it's a far less common event.

[Eichhörnchen]

Doesn't law enforcement bring their own tasers?

Ours do - but I didn't want to assume that all others do - the easiest thing to do was to ask :yep:

So, water cannon?

[Ostfriese]

Ours do - but I didn't want to assume that all others do - the easiest thing to do was to ask :yep:

So, water cannon?


No, but water is a good direction.

[Eichhörnchen]

A vehicle?

[Catfish]

So, firefighting equipment?

[Ostfriese]

A vehicle?


No.

So, firefighting equipment?


Well, it can be used by fire fighters, but nor for firefighting.

[Catfish]

A pump to drain water?

[Ostfriese]

A pump to drain water?


No, sorry.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does it project, or squirt, water?

[Ostfriese]

Does it project, or squirt, water?


Neither.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it hand-held or too big for that?

[Aktungbby]

an instument of emergency revival?
