Amidst the turbulent history of the 20th century, these intriguing hints weave a complex tapestry of conflict and change. Easter Rising in Dublin echoed the Avro 695 Lincolnian G-ALPF's ominous presence in the sky, as revolution brewed in Germany with the KAPP PUTSCH and Freikorps. The Panama Dredger 2 of 1889, a symbol of progress, contrasted the chaos of the Spartacist Poster from 1919. Not Cricket, a term borrowed from cricket's ethical code, was a far cry from the ruthless actions of Arthur Wolfe, 1st Viscount Kilwarden, Lord Chief-Justice of Ireland, who met an untimely end. Kornilov's soldiers and Karl's attempt for power further fueled the flames of revolution. Amidst it all, the Great Eastern was launched, a beacon of hope and progress in the midst of turmoil.
