I think it is time to perhaps draw this one to a close after Five days.
Here's the answer.
The device on Victory is the ‘D' block. (a question perhaps in its own right)
It is below the second and third Poop hammock cranes in the Longridge model photo.
The iconic film is ‘IF', set in an English Public school, the title being taken from the Poem by Rudyard Kipling.
Put together you get D and if or D´if, as in Chateau D´if the famous Island fortress off Marseille.
Here is a more expansive photo of the Island Fortress.
The most famous fictional inhabitant of Chateau D΄if is Edmond Dantes, better known as The Count of Monte Cristo. He was Captain of the ship Pharaon which is the reference to the ancient kings of Egypt.
This is such a famous work by Alexandre Dumas with at least two movies of the book, I felt sure that someone would make the association, and indeed Rick I believe had this a while ago, with his references to Old enemy, Malcolm Mcdowell, and French castles, and his hint using the word IF in capitals.
I therefore think he is deserving of the baton for the next question. Over to you Rick if you want it.
