Also, to protec the security of the first US jet, the P59 Airacomet, the chief test pilot Jack Woolams used to fly the aircraft in a Gorrilla suit, wearinng a bowler hat and smoking a cigar.

Pretty innacurate pictures. For Liverpool and Manchester, you showed the Stockton and Darlington, the thumbnail is a Victorian Railways (of Australia) D92 class, mostly used after the Victorian age.

[@johnd8892]

The locomotives in the thumbnail are the Victorian Railways new A class of 1889 and B class of 1862. These had much less use after the A2 class of 4-6-0s took over the top trains from 1907. Never had a D92 class in Victoria. Sounds like NSW. More detail in this vid, especially at 20:31 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Wcf3efZ52CjZI Glad to see searching for Victorian Railways often turns up photos of our local trains, often in the Victorian era too like the photogenic double header.

Germany is widely known for its flourishing economy - which is especially remarkable considering that it lost two world wars. In Germany it's a widely accepted fact that this economic phenomena started with a game of soccer. The so called "Miracle Of Berne" was the finale of the Soccer World Championship 1954 in Berne, Switzerland. It was an incredible nailbiter but was eventually won by the team of West Germany despite all odds. Keep in mind that this was less than a decade after Germany lost WW2. The Nazis were gone but the country was in ruins, divided, demoralized and hated throughout the world. But historians are certain that this victory lead to a chain reaction that helped the nation back on its feet. The people felt moralized again, have been respected again, other nations and companies were interested to invest in Germany again, creating jobs and this lead to an economic miracle that is still holding on to this day - and it all started with a game of soccer.
