+Florian 394 Posted August 26, 2011 I bet it´s something totally different, because the picture shows not much of the general shape. When i look at the background and refer to the roof on the right side, it would be possible to take a capture from different angle, but it looks like this view was taken by purpose to hide details...

JediMaster 451 Posted August 26, 2011 Looks like the nose of a sub to me, but as mentioned it could be anything because of the way the shot was staged to hide details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted August 26, 2011 perhaps a blimp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stary 2,427 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I don't think it's a sub... maybe blimp as mentioned... but maybe I mean maybe as I have no knowledge about them in general -sort of ICBM or cargo rocket on a closer look I'm not so sure it's made of metal... and it's not that big too edit: I think it might be inflatable or gas filled something blimp like Edited August 26, 2011 by Stary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) To help guess, we can try to agree on some details ... diameter, height, composition, etc... Starting from first principle, its a museam, so what would a museam have? It doesn't seem that large. To scale this, Amof mentioned the roof on the right. The wall on the left is interesting. I'll guess ( ) its wooden, vertical 4x6 so horizontal 2x10, ah guessing? The four arrows; assume one arrow is washed out in sun glare. I guess its metal. Steel or alum? Or titanium if Soviet sub? But its seems small. I almost thought shuttle external tank, but this may be too small, and not sharp or pointy enough at the nose. Any ideas? ======================================== EDIT :: museam ... museum Think of that as a Spelling Mod. Edited August 26, 2011 by Lexx_Luthor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ianh755 196 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Thats definately a Nimrod (MR2 would be my guess, the R1 is only just out of service a month ago and were all painted grey) Edited August 28, 2011 by ianh755 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Florian 394 Posted August 28, 2011 Pic 3: A Nimrod R1 ??? Thats definately a Nimrod (MR2 would be my guess, the R1 is only just out of service a month ago) It´s for sure a Nimrod and from german Wiki (i know not the best source, but it should be correct on this) is stated the cockpit section of Nimrod R1 No. XW665 should been given to a german museum.
