Vividly recall Sputnik being launched.
And a band named after it.

You sure these are genuine satellites ? They look like they're cobbled together by kids at a primary school
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

The Japanese one is just Sputnik with some embellishments.

That's how a lot of Japanese cars came about, Austins with embellishments became Datsuns.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

Not sure if the "Smolt" generates as much celebration worldwide as the humble "Smelt"Visitors will be greeted by an exhibition of caricature paintings about fish

The humble Herring has been mentioned no less than 17 times (...er probably 18 now) on the FCF. I don't really know what they did with them when there were 1000 boats plundering the bounty of the "silver darlings" out of Great Yarmouth alone. It must have been "Roll-mops" for tea and kippers for breakfast every day!

Re: Picture(s) of the day..Fish Special!
Herring is a very versatile fish Neil...
No doubt it was the staple diet of a lot of folk, sharing the same old traditional niche as boiled spuds and cabbage/tinned peas/carrots...
In the sort of numbers it was caught it would have been very cheap I'd expect... And for the less well-off, very nutritious. Boring in the extreme but a few herring with the aforementioned spuds and cabbage/carrots was a very bland but healthy dish and arguably far better for you than what those sort of folk eat these days... Obesity was not common in those days and nor was type 2 diabetes either...
