Can't promise anything but I plan to be there!:D

Depends on whether me guvnor (:twisted: ) is in a good mood and lets me finish in town or not!

1969

The world's first supersonic airliner, 'Concorde,' has its first test flight from Toulouse in France.

Also worth celebrating!!

Finish at 9 if my relief actually turns up on time ( not like tonight) so should be over by 9.30

The greatest of technological achievements should indeed be celebrated, but I can't be there. Raise a cup for me, though.

1965
The film The Sound of Music goes on general release in the United States of America.

Well one date can't have all the good luck I guess:rolleyes:

I'll turn up, time dependant on when I finish the out of hours stuff

I'll be there! And i choose to celebrate the Pioneer 10 launch cos it was the year i was born and i was 9 days old at the time.
And isnt the sending of carft to other planets a bit more of a technological achievment that concorde?
Tho i do love Concorde and wish i'd had the money to fly on it some day before it was grounded.
