BOCN Guess what it is

[John D. Bartleson Jr.]

I am sure glad you told us. I was going to say an Irish tea strainer!

Yes...yes and yes....and it was the smoke generator that simiulates the flight of the operational missile (UK version of the starstreak)

which brings me to a question,does anyone know why UK missiles,rocket motors ect have the KA designation instead of the normal LA?

Over to you Allan

 

[spotter]

Cheers SMLE2009
Ok one a bit easier and a lot older than the last one

 

[smle2009]

rifle grenade?

 

[spotter]

sorry no its not a rifle grenade

 

[siegfreid]

Austrian/Italian hand grenade.Carbone .

 

[spotter]

Let you have that siegfreid ,,Austrian Zeitzunderhandgranate and an attached picture of my grenade

more info can be found here http://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/austria/zeitzuenderhandgranate.html

 

[sudelmuk]

Presumably an Austrian/Italian WWI explosive device, gren or mine - puh, not my specialty.

Obviously everyone of those gentlemen envolved here frequently have a most tricky picture already in spare!?

If I'll ever get again the rudder in my hands on this thread, a most difficult one will be shown, promised. Start searching now.

 

[siegfreid]

OK . Something relatively simple for once .

 

[millsbomber]

Nail for the Pin up Limpet Mine

 

[siegfreid]

No , Dave . Not a pin-up bit !

 

[SG500]

I'm sorry:tinysmile_cry_t:...if no one gets this soon I'll surrender

I thought it was really good, it got us all guessing.
Dave.

 

[SG500]

Is it the striker thing that goes into a Mills grenade?

Dave.

 

[siegfreid]

Dave . It's not a grenade part but a jolly good guess !

 

[siegfreid]

I thought someone would have got this by now . Here's a clue . Very common piece of British WW1 kit also widely used by the Americans & the Italians.

Striker for a stokes mortar?

 

[siegfreid]

Well done Rob . Spot on . Your turn . Mike

 

[paul the grenade]

bah, i go out for a few hours and miss all the easy ones:tinysmile_angry_t:

 

[siegfreid]

Paul . Yup , life's a bummer . Used to happen to me on a nightly basis when I was at college...........

 

[pointblank0]

Right then. Let me know if it appears impossible and I'll drop some hints -
