I really enjoyed the last one my trouble is I'm so Kissed Off with the Bog Swamp that you are turning this game into I'm surprised that Real Historical Ships even let you on board nowadays, Money must talk, indeed it must SHOUT!!

Oh good,, another WG puzzle, these have always been fun! Problem is, I can't see any symbols :(

I am lucky enough to live close to Duxford IWM, and in a low fly/practice area so from spring to october on a nice day you will always hear a Merlin or griffon  engine at full power

We were at Duxford once when a police chopper was transiting the ATZ, ATC warned him of a pair of Buchons (Me109)overtaking him. The reply was "Dammit! I forgot my camera"

Went to IWM Duxford ~20years ago - had a great time.

Quite eye-opening to see actual US aircraft hanging from the ceiling like oversized Airfix models.

For those living near Denmark or in Denmark look here:

The museum show you a fregate F352 Peder Skram from 1966, decommissioned 1988, with at working radiostation OZ1RDN with original equipment for the period,

A torpedomissile boat P547 Sehested, a ship in the Willemoes class, the last operative class of FPB's in Denmark,

The submarine S323 Sælen (Seal), the last operative submarine in the danish navy, and the only danish submarine participating in warsitiation,  as part of the NATO fleet in IRAQ war in 2003.

 

In the openinghours there are guided tours and on the fregate you can do your own tour.

And if you are lucky there may be naval units - danish or foreign - staying on the former navalbase, just had 4 UK mineships on vist for a week or two.

 

I'm guide and Radiooperator on the radiostation on Peder Skram

Indeed, one of the few places in the world you can look up and say "bah, another spitfire" they really are that common during the summer months. You can sometimes see the Catalina or far more rarely the B17. Duxford is well worth the visit if you are in the area.

 

I remember seeing 101 Concorde come over the house in 1977 before it had a parachute assisted landing onto the Duxford runway just before it was due to be shortened by the construction of the new M11 motorway. When I arrived at the museum shortly after it had landed, they were ripping the very hot engines out of it.

I'm trying as well... It's hard, it'd be nice to know when the final one is due...

 

I think I know how to crack it though....

Well, I've got 15 characters now, but no idea what to do with them or as you say, if there are more to come.

I feel evil not explaining it to you, but it is a competition…

Did you get it?

 

I made a mistake on the code and got locked out :(

jpg sucks, some letters are so ambiguous

There's fairly high quality images at the bottom of all the articles with a download button.

I've submitted most of the "ambiguous" characters both ways so I guess someone figured it out weeks ago or the redeem code is busted :(

Which ones, they seemed relatively straightforward to me... The only hard one was O vs 0. 

 

I got: 20NT6HT3HXTBTT22

 

Though I tested 2022NTTT6HTBt3HX

The 20 at the start and 2022 confused me into looking for a re-arrangement.

In your case I guess the NT is the most ambiguous one. I for example didn't get NT.

But I don't want to just dump the answer in the forum...

I did as it’s obviously wrong - someone has got it already :(

 

the N was the light to the left of the destroyer iirc and the T was on the destroyer itself.

Yeah I found all the locations I just don't think the T is a T. I'm fairly sure it's a number.

 

[WolfgangDurdel]

Is it confirmed that the code has been redeemed?

I thought T would be a 7

I can confirm my answer is incorrect, I’m sure someone has cracked it by now.

 

also which T?

Compared to my guess you got 3 Ts wrong actually.

But maybe I'm wrong as well.

[black_falcon120]

@Seraphice can you provide any enlightenment?
