The particular newspaper's not in that "major titles list", but there's a bit of a clue in the wording on that blog page:
"Where possible we publish additional years of newspapers, for which we have permission to do so, on an annual basis. "
additional years... on an annual basis ...
So, if I'm waiting for 1919-1959 to be randomly digitised, perchance to hit the copy of the paper I want .... I could be in for a 10-30 year wait.
I COULD be lucky - the random year/s they select in 2018/2019 could be, say, 1947 and that might happen to contain the article I'm after... but I won't hold my breath
I just drilled down to newspaper level and it says
"It was digitised and first made available on the British Newspaper Archive in Mar 3, 2015 . The latest issues were added in Apr 6, 2016."
That must be due an extra month or two's scans by now 0 -

Looks like the beast went off OK, although I didn't see it - looks like youtube couldn't cope with the demand and kept pausing, most annoyingly at about 20 seconds before liftoff. Got it back just before the boosters fell away then it dropped again.
Got it back now, just in time to see the two boosters land at Canaveral, but they lost the signal from the camera monitoring the centre core's landing so couldn't show that.

It was seriously impressive and worth watching on catch up. We had it on YouTube here and it was ok, but it was also on CNN on the tv at the same time. I think it was on other channels as well, we just went to the one that started coverage first. Also missed the Core landing though.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Apart from anything else ... and having missed it .... I don't really know what it is. I never know what goes up into space/comes back.
I was watching BBC2's Back in Time for Tea
High brow viewing only at my house ... none of that science stuff
One day .... they'll go up in the sky - and get followed back by aliens. Then where'll we be???
It's madness I say. Keep your head down, don't get noticed.0 -

Just managed to get the bit I missed on replay - definitely impressive.
I was listening to the pre-launch narrative, hadn't realised that both boosters had flown before. I'd assumed that they'd use all new parts for a test flight rather than risk any failures from reuse.0 -

It's a ruddy big rocket, the biggest since the moon landings ones

On a different subject ... This is specially for GDB:

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Just watched some of the take-off clips.
I couldn't believe how those side boosters landed! Wow!
And stayed upright!
And perfectly together!
I felt like doing this......:dance:
Pastures, you must watch it; it wasn't science, it was ballet! :T(I just lurve spiders!)
