Anything to do with the reintroduction of the Eurasian Lynx to the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park in Scotland ?
Near enough. Three female bison were released in Kent in July last year, with a male due to join them in October to start a breeding program. One of the females turned out to have already been pregnant, and gave birth the day before the queen's death in September - the first wild bison to be born in England for a considerable period of time. Over to you.
Those of you with a Google Search bar might recognise the graphic of the day - showing the Earth's orbit around the sun. At 16:17 we'll be at our nearest point to the sun and will start another ellipse away. 2 hours time!
I'm not sure about Ernest Wood but the other two were railways employees who had been awarded the VC and had locomotives named after them.
Oops - sorry about that. Should have been Ernest Sykes. I'll give it to you. Well done - so quickly - even with my mistake.. However, there is one other (small) link. ??
I doubt that, but the 'connection' was, at the time, an international referee - as well as being an official of another type.
Sir Stanley Rous ( secretary of the FA at the time of the match in question (1938 ?) suggested to the England team that they give the Nazi salute to engender goodwill - having not done so on a previous occasion (1936)which apparently offended the German government. He later wrote that the team weren't that bothered by the action - something fiercely disputed later by, among others Stanley Matthews Rous lived in/near Watford and the Graham Taylor stand was originally the Rous (or Stanley Rous or Sir Stanley rous) stand.r
