I was only 5 months old but I remember it well. I recall saying “Hubba hubba”

The nuclear testing on Bikini, mentioned below, dispossessed inhabitants. Destroy the land, remove the people, appropriate the name -Western Imperialism in action. I go swimming at the beach almost every day. But let us remember who suffers for our privilege...Sorry to break the bubble of pleasant thoughts...

On 5th July, 1948, the NHS was founded. That's why I celebrated it.

The only bomb shell associated with the Bikini Atoll that I'm interested in.

What happened to my bikini figure? Too many glasses of wine and too much cake? Probably ! ? ?

@Phillydrl Oh, believe me it is!
Yes, and it has a rather explosive background.
"Partly due to material rationing after World War II, French engineer Louis Réard introduced the modern bikini, modeled by Micheline Bernardini, on July 5, 1946, borrowing the name for his design from the Bikini Atoll, where post-war testing on the atomic bomb were taking place."
As for the name: Bikini is much more pleasant than nuclear fission suit would have been.
