No way I wouldhave guessed it!  The closest i got was searching for Roman Roads.  On the right track but that's about all.    Good game!   :D

          Well at least I know that I have been there! I have been through the village on a circular walk from Betws over the Miner's Bridge and up through Rhiwddolion, ( I keep forgetting you throw clues  in "yn Cymraeg!"), and back to Betws via. Llyn Elsi. Well done Hugo, that was a hard one.

Thanks Hugo, embarrassingly I've been there too!

I find it quite a spooky place so much so that I'm sure it gets a degree or two cooler as soon as you go through the farm gates as you enter the village.

Never seen the photos of it as it was - nice to see.

I think it is time to get the Welsh dictionary out ready for your next quiz!   ;D

You won't need a Welsh dictionary for this one.
Where is this and what is the name of the person that made it?

Looks like some kind of Heath Robinson type contraption?

Yes, Fester it is very like a Heath Robinson contraption and it is a working model like his but he didn't make this one.

It's military and it's got a red beer crate attached to it.

Here are some more photos of it which will give clues to its location.

Looks like a bit of Fred Dibnah's handiwork!    :D

Possibly in an aviation museum, but not Cosford as far as I remember.
Might be the early helicopter/autogyro more commonly called the Flying Bedstead.
Come on ME, help me out here.

No, it isn't in a museum and it isn't in the UK. It is on the border of two other countries.

A very wild guess Hollins as you seem to have been all over Europe this year! 
Is it the Munich International Trade Fair?
