If you look closely you can see the pads on the paw. It's similar to the opposite front leg. I agree it does look a bit odd, but I think it's just how the leg/foot was at the moment the shutter clicked. But despite that and the shadow I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a faked photo. Hard to believe any photos these days - the camera never lies, but photoshoppers do it all the time %)

Title: Re: Random Caption Competition!
Post by: Martin [Admin] on April 10, 2015, 01:11:21 pm
Michael Caine in the Italian Job (BBC) How did Caine's character get out of his fix?
The Royal Society of Chemistry has announced the winner of a competition to solve the conundrum at the end of the iconic UK film The Italian Job.
In the film, the robbers' coach almost drives off a cliff, ending up balanced precariously on the edge, with the gang at one end and their gold at the other.
The RSC asked for ideas to get the gold off the coach before it tips over.
John Godwin from Surrey came up with the winning idea which involves draining fuel from the vehicle.
In the conclusion to the 1969 movie, Charlie Croker, played by Michael Caine, tries to reach the gold, but as he does so, the coach tips up dangerously.
Then gang leader Croker turns around and says: "Hang on a minute lads, I've got a great idea."
So what was the idea?
Some 2,000 members of the public put forward their own theories. Many of them were from children.
Twelve-year-old Thomas Nixon's homonym solution was for the gang to sing until they all got "frogs" in their throats. The frogs start to jump up and down which rocks the bus. They use the "rocks" to weigh down the end of the bus.
Eventually, the gang's throats become sore from the singing. And with the "saw" they cut the gold bullion in half. Because two halves make a whole - the gang could sneak the gold through the "hole".
But the winner, John Godwin from Godalming, had a more practical solution involving a three-stage process.
First, the coach needed to be stabilised. This involved smashing out the windows on the part of the coach overlooking the drop and smashing them inward at the front end to improve the weight ratio slightly.
One of the bullion raiders is then lowered outside and deflates the wheels to stop the coach from rocking.
Second, its weight distribution needs to be changed, particularly over the rear of the coach which is overlooking the drop. This involves emptying the fuel tank which John Godwin discovered was at the rear of the coach. This, he estimated, would contain 140kg of fuel.
Third, he would allow a member of the team to leave the coach and bring rocks in to the front of the vehicle to ensure it was stable and the gold could be removed.
"There're several sheets of maths here," said John Godwin.
"It was a good long day with a calculator. It's more than 20 years since I saw the film - I remember thinking there must be some way of getting that gold off the bus.
"I always had an idea of how they might solve this - so when the Royal Society of Chemistry put this out to the public as a competition it seemed like the ideal opportunity to see if it would really work or to see if it was hot air."

Title: Re: Random Caption Competition!
Post by: warspite on April 10, 2015, 02:03:53 pm
its easy really - all they had to do was find out who was the lightest, everyone gets to the front of the bus, find the lightest tee shirts and tie them together with a shoe lace at the end, then the doors are opened at the front and as many as possible strain forward to increase the momentum. The lightest member then moves gingerly to the leading edge of the gold and ties the shoe lace to the corner of one of the gold cages, they then pull this cage off the corner and stack it up with the guys at the front, repeating this a couple of times would shift the weight significantly further to the front. Finally - throw the driver out of the back of the bus for being a church call to prayer ringing device - end O0

Members might be interested in the origin of my latest caption entry. It was taken at our annual Club Challenge Competition held a few weeks ago. With thanks to Chris Monk.
This challenge is to rescue a barge that has broken away from its moorings and presents a threat to shipping (think Thunderbirds meets the RNLI)
The contest is a timed run for single skippers and teams of up to 3 skippers. The idea is to make a boat or boats capable of retrieving the barge and stopping it at a dock we will provide. The barge is 900mm long 200mm wide.
There is no limit on motors, batteries or design, just as long as your rescuing boat is less than 18” long. You can push, pull or tow it into position but if you sink it you are going in to get it and you are deemed to have sunk yourself! There are strong hand rails on both the bow and stern for you to couple on to and steel plates if you fancy using magnets. There will also be some metal bollards.
The competition format is this:
The barge is held to a marker buoy at one end of the pond and the competitor or team is at the other end. When the word is given and the stopwatch started the barge will be released and the team will sail to get it. You will then bring it back under your boats power to the dock avoiding any obstacles and stop with the barge alongside the quay between two markers. The clock stops when the barge is stationary. Quickest time wins.
This is not so much a test of outright speed and power but of control and communication between the team members.

A cat-head is a large wooden beam located on either side of the bow of a sailing ship, and angled forward at roughly 45 degrees. The beam is used to support the ship's anchor when raising it (weighing anchor) or lowering it (letting go), and for carrying the anchor on its stock-end when suspended outside the ship's side. It is furnished with sheaves at the outer end, and the inner end (which is called the cat's-tail) fits down on the cat-beam. The cat stopper also fastens the anchor on. The purpose of the cathead is to provide both a heavy enough beam to support the massive weight of the anchor, and to hold the metal anchor away from the wooden side of the ship to prevent damage.
A cat on head is worn by a dopey looking male model who tends to forget his trousers. O0

Thanks Martin......as opulent as she is, would she be a good sea boat?......I mean not just poncing ;D around the Med on glass like waters {-)
Surface piercing propellers?.......technology way beyond me :embarrassed:
Roy & Neil would know our largest inland waterway Lake Macquarie in a storm can produce ~~2m waves and being so shallow these can be down to 10m apart......so this vessel would need to shelter behind Pulbrah Island...or motor at say 3 or 4 nots into the swell
[The definition I use is for an inland water with a wave 1m high followed by a 1m trough = ~~2m.....possibly some of our sea faring members will correct me here]
This is in the engine bay, a hydraulic hand pump........possibly for emergency steering?......[it also has the CE logo attached so the hydraulic output must also have an electrical interface] :o

The Med can get very rough Derek, don't believe the brochures. It is subject to very strong winds for much of the year which can blow up out of nowhere - the Alps actually. We were on a fairly large trip boat from Ithaca to Cephalonia once and everyone was hanging on for dear life!
These huge 'poser' yachts spend most of their time in harbour. Many of them have only a limited number of ports they will fit into. When they do venture out they often drop anchor offshore.

4 months later, my Brother went to a Tire Distributor & asked to have the 22" rear tyres swapped over to the front..... as after 5000km the fronts were scrubbing out on the outers
The salesman said they could not do this ...so yes the front rims were also 22", they were different widths & narrower than the rears
A new 22" tire ...285 R45-22RZR tire was about $700.00 each {-)

pack ice, stop the damage from going up to the bow, or since being in the south seas area the front shape sends the spray well off to the side and not onto the deck i.e. reducing the effect that the Russian convoys experienced - having to remove ice with a sledge hammer - just a thought.
Addendum - wave piercing design, apparently also reduces energy use by up to 20% so that energy saving is used to make her faster with less rocking & slamming etc
Title: Re: Random Caption Competition!
Post by: Aerodecked on September 26, 2020, 10:47:53 am
Apparently it is deliberately designed to give the Esperanza an exceptionally smooth, stable and energy-efficient ride. Model testing showed that the winged bow eliminated slamming and greatly reduced motions and accelerations detrimental to cargo and passengers. And that this new type of hull saves over 20% of power, fuel consumption and GHG emissions. The winged bow contributes only part of this superior performance, there is also a fancy propulsion system to go with it. We will be seeing more of these as some European ships are being designed with the new style bow. [/size]

just an aside comment, why do they build things that big, where they then have to transport it through tight spaces and up winding roads, can they not design and build it, test it, take it apart in sections and then transport it, its like Eurobus planes, they transport sections through the french countryside through winding roads and tight villages to the assemble it in a plane factory with a runway, why didn't they build the factory and runway closer to a port to allow for easier transport, or build a bigger plane than the russian AN225 to transport lots of bits - beggers belief

I suspect this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the most efficient and therefore most cost effective way of transporting such a large load. Almost all marine engine manufacturers have access to water and all shipbuilders by their very nature have access to water. Therefore almost all marine propulsion engines are transported by barge from the manufacturer to the yard. They are then craned off the barge and directly into the ship as it is being built.
Although this could be a marine engine there is also a very strong possibility that this could be a shore based installation for something such as a power station back up or a large industrial complex. As for road transportation the route will be carefully evaluated as regards dimensions to the millimeter and even the load bearing capabilities of the roads and bridges before deciding on whether it can be done or not. If it is not possible then the engine will be dismantled and reassembled on site.

IPSWICH — A young man has been medevaced to a Boston hospital after an accident on the water on July 4.The man, 19 and from Ipswich, was struck by a propeller and suffered serious lacerations to his lower back. He was taken ashore at the Ipswich Bay Yacht Club.Video embedded below showed a boat out of control moments before the crash.
Another page with same images...
IPSWICH, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are investigating a boat crash in Ipswich on Saturday that left a man with life-threatening injuries after he was apparently run over by a boat he fell off of, officials said. Officers responding to a reported boat crash near the Third Creek mooring area found a 19-year-old man suffering from life-threatening injuries. The man was medflighted to a hospital in Burlington.
...The video of the boat careering round unmanned is alarming and probably a timely reminder why the dead mans link on an ouboard must always be fitted to you rather than looped roundsomething on the boat.
“The boat ultimately crashed into a nearby houseboat owned by the victim’s family, causing serious damage,” he added.
A good Samaritan stopped to pull the injured man from the water, police said.

The staircase to the Dock crane may tell some of the real story, as we also see it is not a flat floored Drydock, but a Dock with a floor tapering at an angle toward [assumed] water, .......so how do they get the vessel to float, as by the bow, the vessel is near on dry land?
Or is this Dock in Dubai, or somewhere near the Dead Sea?.......where all ships float on top of the water and have ZERO draft :P The only other possible explanation is this image was snapped before they found the World was round, hence a flattish earth
Or is this another of Martins dodgy fake draft images? %)

When the cross hair sight from No 2 Gun in No 1 Turrett with 40 degrees of elevation meets the cross + hair of the building, then the BB is parked correctly :embarrassed:
So whilst some may view this as a joke, in 1997, her Little Sister BB63 berthed outside my office @ Garden Island........a few days later after all of the General Public fuss was over, being Weapons people, we were offered a guided tour of the vessels weapons systems
The 3 guns from each No 1 & 2 Turrets were parked at the regulatory 40 degrees elevation......and yes the cross + hair from the No 2 Gun Sight from No 1 Turrett was squared off directly at a Sydney skyscraper building some 200m away :o
Again, just co-incidence?.......but fact O0

To be perfectly honest the guns are actually pointing down the street - there is probably a junction with a traffic camera that if you jump the lights you get a 1 ton shell land on you.

Probably not. The photo is marked 1927. The Westward was built in the US 1908 and retired from racing in 1911. She changed hands, was renamed Hamburg II, painted black, and moved to Germany. She was laid up during WW1, then passed through several pairs of hands and during this period her name was restored to Westward. She was bought by her last owner Jersey business man Thomas B F Davis in 1924 and was then raced in British and European waters until 1935. She was scuttled off Jersey, according to her owners wishes, after the owner died in 1947.

Yes Martin
A Google search on....."1937 Ahlbeck Germany, German Soldiers on Maneuvers" ...........brings up the same image......
None of the soldiers in the inflatable rafts appear to be wearing Helmets, however in an accompanying image shows a different Group of Soldiers as wearing some type of Uniform Berets

Not a caption entry, but seeing the reference to Paris in the picture reminded me of something I saw during a visit to Paris last year. There is a large pond in one of the parks and a lady was renting out smallish free sailing yachts and poles for a few euros. Must have been a couple of dozen boats on the water, kids (and parents) rushing about to catch their boats and having a great time (pond has a raised side so no chance of anyone calling in). What a cheap way to introduce kids to the hobby.
