lesson 66 Sweet as honey!
In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island,a remote place in the South Pacific,a long way west of Samoa.The plane wasn't too badly damaged,but over the years,the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed.Then in 1989,twenty-six years after the crash,the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island.By this time,a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing.The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France.Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored.It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines,but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt.Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey-still in perfect condition.A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace,which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world,for it was made of iron and glass.It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it.A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world.There was also a great deal of machinery on display.The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer.Though in those days,travelling was not as easy as it is today,steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe.On arriving in England,they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train.There were six million visitors in all,and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges.Later ,the Crystal Palace was moved to South London.It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.
