Thunderbolt fame tied to Uralla grave mystery
The tale recounts Fred Britten known as Thunderbolt and his associations with Fred Ward and Joan Ward. It covers cattle stealing, escapes, trials, multiple imprisonments, a fatal cliff ride, and Britten’s shifting life between Australia and the United States. A grave note at Uralla hints the body may be Ward, with locals recalling buckranger days and a Walcha editor’s family.

Britain’s biggest hot strip steel mill opens in Wales
On the South Wales coast at Abbey Works the Steel Company of Wales builds Britain’s largest hot strip steel mill. A £80,000,000 plant with 775-ton ladle cranes rises in the casting bed as new melting shops expand capacity to about 1,500,000 tons of steel billets yearly. The strip mill is imported from the United States, financed by Marshall Aid, with full production expected in 1951.
