Bowman produced a line of baseball cards, which were highly popular in the 1940s. Bowman also produced American football and basketball cards.

Bowman Flag
The complex Bowman Flag with its swallow-tail fly was designed by John and Honor Bowman of Richmond NSW in 1806. The shield on the design shows the rose of England, thistle of Scotland and shamrock of Ireland. It commemorates (by the motto England expects that every man will do his duty) the Royal Navy’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805), a landmark event for Britain's Australasian colonies. The design was hand painted, in oils, on silk made from Honor Bowman’s wedding dress. The flag is preserved in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, Sydney. The design was an inspiration for Australia's National Coat of Arms which features a shield showing the six Australian State Badges supported by an emu and a kangaroo.

Bowman (communications System)
Bowman is the name of the tactical communications system used by the British Armed Forces. The Bowman C4I system consists of a range of HF radio, VHF radio and UHF radio sets designed to provide secure integrated voice, data services to dismounted soldiers, individual vehicles and command HQs up to Division level. Bowman has a number of specific applications installed on the base radio infrastructure known as BISAs. Bowman has been released incrementally as a number of phased capability releases, known as BCIP releases, with BCIP 5.5 being released in the field in 2013.

Bowman Baronets
There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Bowman, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. The Bowman Baronetcy, Clifford Street in the parish of St James, Westminster, in the County of Middlesex and of Joldwynds in the parish of Holmbury St Mary in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 23 January 1884 for the prominent surgeon, histologist and anatomist William Bowman. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet, who was a barrister. He also assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Paget, which was that of his maternal grandfather (however, none of the subsequent holders used this surname).

A Space Odyssey (film)
''2001: A Space Odyssey'' is a 1968 science fiction novel written by Arthur C. Clarke and the 1968 film directed by Stanley Kubrick. It is a part of Clarke's '' Space Odyssey'' series, the first of four novels and two films. Both the novel and the film are partially based on Clarke's 1948 short story " The Sentinel", an entry in a BBC short story competition, and "Encounter in the Dawn", published in 1953 in the magazine '' Amazing Stories''. Resources After deciding on Clarke's 1948 short story "The Sentinel" as the starting point, and with the themes of man's relationship with the universe in mind, Clarke sold Kubrick five more of his stories to use as background materials for the film. These included " Breaking Strain", "Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting...", "Who's There?", "Into the Comet", and "Before Eden". Additionally, important elements from two more Clarke stories, "Encounter in the Dawn "Encounter in the Dawn" (also known as "Expedition to Earth") is a ...

The Bowmans
"The Bowmans" is an episode of the BBC television situation comedy programme ''Hancock'', the final BBC series featuring Tony Hancock, first broadcast on 2 June 1961. It was written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The title is a retronym; the episodes were not originally identified individually. Outline and background Hancock plays an actor in a fictional radio serial called ''The Bowmans'', a parody of the real BBC radio programme ''The Archers''. The theme tune to ''The Bowmans'' is a close variation by series composer Wally Stott of the real ''Archers'' theme tune "Barwick Green". Hancock plays Joshua Merriweather, a character similar to the soap opera's country bumpkin Walter Gabriel. Hancock's behaviour annoys the other actors and producers, so they kill off his character – only to find the audience holds the character in great affection. Hancock has difficulties finding new work, but audience reaction compels the BBC to resurrect his character by discovering a long-lost ...
