    Update

    The XMTSAS Saltire's adventures in the Bay Area may be found here

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...768/index.html

    Fully provisioned, the zeppelin's course was set for the Ferintosh Guest House in Dumfries Scotland



    She needed to make exceptional time to get there for the famous Ferintosh Burns Night Supper hosted by the one and only Pour1Malt!

    During her trans-Atlantic flight McMurdo designed a new smiley for the forum to use in her honor, announced here:

    (The code for the smiley is : blimp : but without spaces between the colon and word "blimp")

    This picture with his Lairdship suggests that the Saltire made it it time for the celebration...




    ....but we must wait for the Laird of Ferintosh for a full report!

    Cheers

    Update

    Pour1Malt has been quite busy preparing for an art exhibition and has not yet offered his full report of the XMTSAS Saltire's time in Dumfries.

    From the notes and photos of X Markers A-Hay, David Dalglish, Cessna152Towser, Martin, and Niblox I have been able to piece together this brief look at her activities in Scotland.

    It seems the X Marks the Scot Airship Saltire did arrive at the Ferintosh Guest House in time for Pour1Malt's infamous pre-Burns Night Supper Pub Crawl.

    At the event itself



    The last photo is over a week old. Besides the eagerly awaited account from Pour1Malt, many are wondering...


    Where is the Saltire now?
