Yes, it is the day of the Kennedy assassination. According to AHistory, it's also the day that the events of Remembrance of the Daleks take place. Is this the only date we know of from the show (other than "Father's Day" for obvious reasons, "The Two Doctors" or other times when the Time Lords arranged it) that two incarnations of The Doctor were on Earth at the same time (although the 9th was in Dallas and the 7th in England). Do you think The Doctor knows when that happens and actively avoids himself? Or does the TARDIS prevent it?

There was also a Brief Encounter short story in a Doctor Who Magazine issue in which the 7th Dr gives the Hand of Omega to the 1st Dr in London, October 1963 (approx); therefore setting up the events leading to and including Rememrance of the Daleks.

Thanks. As I have not read most of the books I usually don't use them in my game but I might make an exception for that short story as it would fit with the adventure idea I am having. Allen

9 is at the Titanic launch and gives hints that he was onboard. 4 [ or an earlier incarnation] seems to have been there as well

In these instances I prefer to think of the novels as non-canon, or at least of having a canon of their own. It makes these things WAY too complicated.

There is no canon, as everything is canon. So everyone should feel free to pick and choose what applies and what doesn't (it's a bit like the Bible that way

There's an inference that more than one Doctor was present at the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883: the 3rd Doctor said that the screaming noise that he heard at the Inferno Project was the same as he had heard at Kratakoa (presumably while in his 1st or 2nd incarnations); and Clive's documents on the 9th Doctor included a sketch of him which had washed up on Sumatra on the day that Krakatoa exploded. Not definitive, but it seems likely.
If you widen the scope to include spin-offs, then you can add the eruption of Pompeii (7th and 10th Doctors), and the 8th Doctor was stranded on Earth from around 1888 until 2000, so numerous instances during that time.
