To the Ladies and Gentlemen of XMTS,

Today the XMTSAS Saltire came home.

It is with mixed feelings that I opened the package that held her. So many miles she has travelled, so many wonderful places and people she has seen. It seems so long ago that I wrote the original story that introduced her to our forum and build this small representation for Big Mikey to take with him along his trip back to Canada.

So many changes since then.

One thing I am very glad is that she managed to hold true to her mission and has well indeed "Travelled in Friendship" all over the globe.

Perhaps a discussion should take place if she should continue on, or that maybe some new symbol in keeping with the new XMTS take her place. I suspect that she would find a good home in Storrington with a certain kilted gentleman I know.

But this is a talk for another day. Now I will read her log book and smile at all the special people that she has met along her flight.

I doff my plumed hat to you all

Sincerely

Jamie
