ANOTHER IMAGE SEARCH CHALLENGE

[Cramulus]

Possibly a red herring ... The tractor in the top right looks almost like this one... except the wheels are different, and there's no little roof over the driver's seat.


Fordson Model F
20 H.P., four cylinder engine
delivered 10 H.P. on the drawbar
3 speed spur gear transmission
Produced from 1917-1928 at Dearborn in America
Produced from 1919-1922 at Cork, Ireland


my thinking is that whatever museum we're looking at, their website probably has an inventory of the things on display there. If we can google the specific tractor + the specific plane, we'll have narrowed it down a whole lot.

[Cramulus]

hmm, this may not help either... but the string "fordson tractor museum" helped me find this page: http://www.steel-wheels.net/ford.html

It indexes a bunch of pictures of fordson tractors on display in museums. I don't see any of the tractors in our target image. But this is a nice list of farm equipment museums.

because you took the photo?

I don't think I did. I used to own a Nokia cameraphone but it didn't take pics at that resolution, I think. Also sometimes I wander further than driving distance from Groningen

Since you're blowing up images, here's original resolution of all four:

awesome! Okay, my guess: you googled A-012 and "danish plane"? that was my next guess, except I didn't get the danish detail.

Good work, man!


ETA: except we still don't know the name of the location

[Cain]

AO12 and Denmark, but yes.

I saw the flag near the back of the plane, and thought "fuck it, there are plane nerds all over the world, and they watch these things obsessively, bet I can find the plane, then work backwards from that to find where it has been."

But the first result was the above link, so, hurrah.

Cain wins.

You guys are too good.

It was from my holiday in Denmark, just after my fire, hence I don't quite recall what phone I had with me, but I think one of my friends took it. You can even spot me in one of the pics, pointing at something.

As I said, you guys are too good. So try the busstop one, Cram and I decided it was too impossible. As I said I got the pic of a Twitter or Flickr feed, but I did manually block out the place name which would give everything away:



Unfortunately I just gave Cram the unblocked version of this pic, so unless he hasn't actually looked at it and deletes it RIGHT NOW he can't play

[Cramulus]

Ahah, actually the page you linked to DOES have the info:

Displayed at Egeskov Slot (Egeskov Castle) in the southern part of Fyn, this old fighter-bomber sits outside all year round and is marked of this over the years. The red wheel rims denoted that this aircraft has been phased out. A-012 (cn.351012) flew her last sortie on 21. September 1991 after 20 years and nearly 3300 flying hours with the RDanAF.

I was concentrating on the wrong part. I figured that there'd be less noise in a tractor search, because who the fuck cares about tractors. But the number on the plane is a piece of SPECIFIC information, which cuts through a lot of the noise.

ahah, that WAS you! I was going to blow it up and squint at it, but figured it wouldn't be useful.

Unfortunately I just gave Cram the unblocked version of this pic, so unless he hasn't actually looked at it and deletes it RIGHT NOW he can't play

hahah well I set it as my desktop, but I haven't minimized anything yet. So I just set the blocked version to my desktop again. :P

British bus service. Will look for more info when not procrastinating.

reverse image search reveals two links: 1 broken, 1 here: http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=ss95zzang&logNo=90084932421&viewDate=&currentPage=1&listtype=0



can't even highlight the text... working on it ...

[Juana]

I'm guessing one of these: Newbiggin, Nth Seaton, Ashington, Pegswood, Morpeth (arriva route 35)

[Triple Zero]

hahahaha if only it hadn't been a thumbnail you'd cracked it, Cram

(cause seriously I don't think there's much more to find out about the pic than the place name. of course if you do, all the more bonus points to you)

[Cain]

Its on the A192, running south from Northgate hospital to Morpeth.
