The story of my life; I cast around teh intarweb to find something interesting that happened 48 years ago today and this is the best I could find:
Moving Tinned Fruit By Rail 1959 Moving Tinned Fruit By Rail 1959
Boxes of United Canners food being loaded onto railway vans at Boston, 4 February 1959. United Canners, based in Boston, Lincolnshire, produced canned fruit and vegetables harvested on local farms. Despite increasing competition from road transport, large quantities of food were still delivered by rail in the 1950s. The tins were transported to the railhead by British Railways articulated lorries.




Edited to add:Project Blue Book - light in the sky over Washington. Almost interesting!



The Day The Music Died




Buddy Holly (22), Richie Valens (17) and JP "The Big Bopper" Richardson (24) were killed in a plane crash on Tuesday 3 February 1959.


Though it did make the news on the fourth...
