As It Was My Birthday On The 14th,

I decided to look up what world events took place on the 14th of April 1950,

the only thing of note I could find was the birth of The Eagle a comic paper which over the years both my father and myself looked forward to, apart from the school boy hero Dan Dare, which everyone liked there were for the time fantastic cut away drawings, each week featuring a different project,

like this one the cancelled TSR2, 

  or H.M.S.Devonshire, for a look at some of the others have a look here, as it happens looking at this comic brought back some great memories of the 1950s.
