MPX5128927: RAF Mountain Rescue and Police search for the wreckage of a crashed light aircraft. The wreckage of a war lies beneath the soft earth of the Cheviot slopes. Consciously ignored by the censored Press of World War Two dozens of planes plunged to their destruction and sank into bogs. More than 25 - both Allied and German - are beneath the marshy soil and their names bear out the aggression of war: Spitfire, Flying Fortress, Swordfish... But when the war ended, the accidents stopped. In the 30 years since the war there had only been two air crashes over the misty hills, this Tuesday's nosedive into Hedgehope Hill was one of them. But rumours persist about the strange weather conditions and freak disturbances between St Abb's Head, where the men went off course and the Cheviots. Does the North have a Bermuda Triangle of its own ? As Department of Trade Inspectors stood by in Wooler to begin examining the Piper Cherokee wreckage, experts answered unequivocally: No ! The aircraft, that was flying from Edinburgh to Sunderland and crashed on the 2,348 ft. Hedgehope Hill is pictured, 14/02/1979 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
MPX5129157: The Beatles in the studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). That morning, during a photo session, Ringo Starr had become seriously ill and had to be hospitalized. Since The Beatles were scheduled to leave on a world tour the very next morning, it was too late to cancel the tour. Brian Epstein and George Martin arranged for a temporary drummer to take Ringo's place for the first part of the tour, and the drummer selected was Jimmy Nicol, someone who they knew to be talented but who was unknown enough not to be mistaken as a permanent replacement for Ringo. On the spur of a last-minute phone call from George Martin, Nicol rushed over to EMI Studios, where he and The Beatles ran through six songs from their tour repertoire in a quick rehearsal ("I Want to Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You", "I Saw Her Standing There", "This Boy", "Can't Buy Me Love", and "Long Tall Sally"), Just 27 hours later, drummer Jimmy Nicol was performing live with The Beatles in Copenhagen, Denmark, June 3, 1964 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images

MPX5129302: Brian Connolly, lead singer of that chart-busting group The Sweet, is a family man now. And the new pop is clearly proud to present his first-child, Nicola. Brian's 23 year old wife Marilyn gave birth to their 7lb daughter in hospital at Chertsey, Surrey on 3-4-1974. The 24 year old star whose song successes include "Little Willy", "Hell Raiser" and "Teenage Rampage"-reckons that Nicola is the biggest hit of the lot. Real sweet, in fact.
