1. William Booth, founder of Salavation Army
2. First person to jump off Eifel Tower?

Yes, William Booth died on 20th August 1912, aged 83.

The person concerned did jump out of something, but what was it? (A bonus point for his name!)

Who decided to ban house parties in 2020 and why?

Boris Johnson, as part of the Covid restrictions.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

First parachute jumper, from a biplane or triplane?

Yes, it was from a Bleriot aeroplane; he was Adolphe Pegond, who survived because his parachute brought him safely to the ground.

Boris Johnson, as part of the Covid restrictions.

No ... it was a company rather than a person.

If my maths is correct, this means that LSWR Cavalier, MotCo, 444045 and Gloster all have one each with two to go.
