And he went to Norfolk Island with a different Gypsy Moth. His Gypsy Moth was the first aircraft to land on the island. I recall reading about it when I lived there.

He also visited Lord Howe Island, unless they got that wrong but may have been at the same time. Obviuosly not at the same time as yours 'cos that would be silly, if not bloody impossible.

Specifically, baker Raffaele Esposito from Naples is often given credit for making the first such pizza pie.

Legend has it that Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889.

Nah, I remember it well. First Pizza Hut opened in Queensland was at Annerley in 1973. I was a frequent flier.
