@GAYSODOMITE @50YearsAgoLive This flag is from 1974...
@50YearsAgoLive FYI: That first photo is Nigeria's military Head of State from 1966 to 1975, General Yakubu Gowon. Below is Seyni Kountché, here seen meeting with Francois Mitterrand in 1982

@50YearsAgoLive It will also be used for four matches in the World Cup this summer, beginning with Scotland v Zaire on 14 June.
In an interview with Film Quarterly magazine, filmmaker George Lucas says he’s working on a new project - “The Star Wars.”
25 March 1974: a personal @50YearsAgoLive . The day our chemistry teacher saved my life! He used to write our homework on the blackboard and we had to copy it out. This day he wrote loads of it, so much so that I missed my bus - the one that crashed into a truck at my stop...
@50YearsAgoLive Minor point: she was given the title "Princess Royal" in 1987, at this stage she was just known as HRH Princess Anne.
@mangereman @secondzeit I felt like I was learning more about the Yom Kippur war from @50YearsAgoLive than the current events lol
@50YearsAgoLive Being pedantic (and I find your page really interesting) that Observer cover is from May.
@50YearsAgoLive BRMB will launch in 5 days' time as Britain's 4th local commercial radio station, serving the West Midlands.
@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory One for @50YearsAgoLive!
@50YearsAgoLive The coach was carrying British Army and RAF personnel and their families back to their base in Catterick after weekend leave. Nine of the dead were soldiers, four of whom were teenagers. It's the worst attack yet on the mainland.
@50YearsAgoLive Ronnie Biggs escaped from Wandsworth jail after 15 months of a 30 year sentence. Now that Detective Chief Superintendent Jack Slipper ("Slipper of the Yard") has tracked him down thanks to a tipoff from the Daily Express, it's all down to the extradition arrangements with Brazil.
@50YearsAgoLive @StephenLyon Don't know whether there's complete footage of the race online, but here's Bayi looking back on his achievement. Walker went on to take the world mile record below 3:50. youtube.com/watch?v=i3BhcZ…
@50YearsAgoLive Good evening in fact 🙂 It was considered at the time to be one of the greatest middle distance races ever run. Bayi and Walker both broke the previous world record and Jipcho (3rd) was only barely outside it. (Walker then broke the world record for the mile in 1975)
@almurray @James1940 @PeterWhitewood Watching the #Stalingrad episode. I've noticed documentaries often use the photos of Hitler with Antonescu when talking about the führer & his generals without mentioning who the conducător is. x.com/50yearsagolive…
“Stalingrad,” the ninth episode of the ITV/Thames Television documentary The World at War, premieres. This is the only episode of the series that features no interviews, a deliberate choice given that most people present at the battle were killed or died in captivity.
