The answer to that will be a first hint. Which will come in a week, if nobody guesses it.

Now stop fishing please.

Got it:
Fliegerstahlhelm, model SSK-90.

Yep. Siemens SSK 90, a helmet designed for Luftwaffe in 1941 and withdrawn from service after mere 18 days because it was too heavy.

Your turn.

Don't tell me you can't give me my cookie after all this time!

**Muizer** · April 02, 2020, 08:54 AM

Cookie given!

CAC Boomerang. Australian fighter, rather underpowered compared to the opposition, but served well enough at home defense units.

Sure, go ahead.

That is Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol, a basilisk canon.
To find this I googled "very long bronze canon" and after it got me nowhere I specified basilisk, where it featured prominently.

@Sar1n:
If you don't pay your dues now, I'll be posting an image of an F-16 prototype that reads "F-16" on it's vertical stabilizer and I will do it when you are not logged in.

Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol. Cast in Netherlands as a gift for, at the time, princess Elizabeth. Apparently, every princess needs something long and hard in her pocket.
Now that we got the obligatory innuendo out of the way, the cannon actually saw service in English Civil War on both sides, being captured twice during the war. Now it's on display in Dover Castle.

And just for threatening this way, you're not getting the cookie from me.

For the one who's always complaining about how other's play the game you have an awful laissez faire attitude towards the rules.

F-16.

**paleologos** · April 05, 2020, 03:23 PM

Well, Akar has it, it is an F-16 painted in the livery of an YF-16 prototype.

It seems you were the last person I repped (I believe it was on behalf of King Athelstan) so I owe you one for this.
