The Flight of the Saltire

**Pleater** · 17th January 09, 11:23 AM

It might be interesting for the airship to visit the South of England to attend the Sidmouth folk festival in the first week of August. It is not only the time when I escape the everyday round, but when I am most likely to have charged up batteries in the camera and be wandering about the town of Sidmouth, Devon, encountering all sorts of interesting people. Some in kilts.

How do I lure the XMTSAS Saltire to Germany?

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

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.

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

Where is the Saltire now?
