As a Scot living in England, it would also effectively make me a foreigner in my own country.
Wouldn’t be your country.
Independence means much much more than just cash
Complete cr@p. All the jocks I served with, after a few beers and between renditions of ‘o flower of scotland’ and something completely unintelligable would then proceed to lecture us English on how they would govern their independant nation using the revenue from their oil. Heard it too many times over the last thirty years.
on the contrary, they couldn’t wait to get rid of dear old Blighty…
Yes, we get the picture……..
How tall are you going to build your wall?
Will we need passports to enter your kingdom?
Could we deport David Coulthard?
Al, I really don’t think the average bloke on the street in England is going to give a rats ass with the independence of Scotland. Its only you that brings up the Empire and the Commonwealth, in this day and age there’s more to worry about than Empires.

……… but the rest of the UK are soon going to have to get used to a Union flag without any blue on it…
Is this ‘without any blue on it’ permanent or just until the oil runs out in 40 years?:rolleyes:

Went Monday, she is in the hangar back here.
Space on the trailer? couldn’t get the Hunter on as well:eek:
Is there a reasonably sized UK museum that needs an extra Hunter indoors?
Yes, me, but sadly won’t fit through my kitchen door:rolleyes:
……….. to become a winchman
on SAR duties. Spending time at RAF Boulmer and taking part in the Piper
Alpha incident.
Was winched many times by Mike Yarwood during my time at Boulmer and was on duty when his Sea King was launched to the Alexander Kielland accommodation platform early 1980 (leg broke off), this was where he won an AFM. Seems a long time ago now, I believe all the crew was recognised for this action and MY was exhausted in the rescue of over 30 casualties in mountainous seas.
Boulmer was the last sighting of MY I had when I was posted 1981.

Nice to see you again, glad to see you had a window of opportunity:)
It was like a forumites convention with Dr Strangelove and Wingcommanderflap!
Good to see the doorman at the RBL remained upright for the evening:D
Baz
Makes no odds, that aeroplane hit the ground with much force, everything is damaged, your panel looks like it was removed from something intact. I would be suspicious if it was supposed to come off this wreck.
Probably get into trouble for putting this up:rolleyes:
Look how everything is bent and twisted, looks like hatch centre left.
No,…………..hang on a mo…………….
There looks like a hatch cover in the main picture, do you have a copy of this book?
There are pics of some of the artifacts including the Form 700, are you interested in any particular part?
Baz
…..will there be doormen?…….
