What can you tell me about this ship. Why was it important?

Did it fire the first shot on the Russians?

Not to my knowledge Gloria. When she was built the Russians were our mates.

I know the answer but I'll keep quiet and let others have a go. It was important for a number of reasons.

I think it's the battleship Potemkin .

Not often I get one of these so I'll say it. . .

Sorry David, no. The Union Flag at the masthead is a clue to the nationality.....

Is it the Dreadnought?

I wondered who'd be the first to spot that - Stupid boy.

I know David, I felt quite naughty doing that to you. But then I did.
Kev has got it. HMS Dreadnought, launched 1906. (LINK)
I think Peter and others were there already but kept quiet.

Another guess, I'm doing well here

How about this?

Stanley also asked why his battleship was important. There are several reasons and here are two of them, quoted from Wikipedia: `Dreadnought was the first battleship of her era to have a uniform main battery, rather than having a few large guns complemented by a heavy secondary armament of smaller guns. She was also the first capital ship to be powered by steam turbines, making her the fastest battleship in the world at the time of her completion.'

Kev, shells! But not for battleships. I don't know what plant.

Nut shells - Almonds ?

Pot Pourri?

Spot on Stanley.

I suppose I'll have to come up with the next one now.....



Any idea what you're looking at here?

Some sort of exhibition in Africa?

I second Tizer’s suggestion.
I was thinking Singapore then Asia then Africa.

Is it celebrating Christmas or perhaps a similar annual event?

The red/blue/white ball is the logo of Korean Air, isn't it? As in Seoul, South Korea. Or maybe it is just a decoration!

Sorry nobody is anywhere near. I reckon it's nearly impossible so I'll start feeding you clues.
It's a commercial enterprise and benefits a medical pension fund.

Anything to do with PepsiCo?

No Kev but you're in the right country.

Pepsi logo and Korean Air are very much alike! I've never paired the two before today!

I still have no idea what's going on though

It's a permanent celebration of all things Snoopy related.... that should do it for you.
