RE: Aeroplanes - Invented in Yorkshire by a Bloke Called George

in StemSocial2 days ago

Loool that was a cheeky one (I meant the bird image) in place of the wright Brothers.

I mean, in the case of Cayley, I think most original initiative inventors are forgotten, simply because someone came up and finishing building on the foundations of the original inventors. It's a harsh thing

Sort:  

Lol...Well, the white bird is a Disney character called Wilbur and the green duck is famous in the UK as its a ventriloquists dummy called Orville so there was a link!

And you're absolutely correct. So many people did the groundwork for many things we take for granted and others got all the plaudits.

Had a coke recently? Ever wondered who invented the technique for putting bubbles into drinks? ....another Yorkshireman!

Have a great weekend mate and thank you so much :-)
