Lets just hope Scotland's future is noticeably less bumpy than Strathavens runway.

"Astounding" and "amazing" to make a windsock?

Holland have had windsocks in their national colours for years.

ohh!! ...good for holland BTW.... Did they invent the pneumatic tyre which your aircraft land on? I think not..... the tarmac which your aircraft land on? they invent the telephone, with which your internet travels through(or used to at some point)? I think not....first workable radar system?

the list is endless....

OHH!!! I almost forgot who invented the bank of England you guessed it another scotsman....

BYE

Kenny

Isn't the reason windsocks are normally bright orange to make them easy to see?

Yes from those in the south when the wall goes back up, you will then have your own currency, pay your own taxes without draining the south and will require a visa once approaching Gretna Green

If Scotland was full of blokes with Colin's nous, Independence would probably work and I would be moving

Just as well it's an unlicensed field, otherwise you'd get the CAA round telling you it's not an ICAO compliant colour

Colin, your new windsock matches the colour of the flag flying from my car at the moment.

As with the general feel of the country, lets all go for enlightenment, positivity, and let the Scotland the Grave lot, well, just let them be.........

Oh, and last time I checked, all my taxes, both corporation, and personal, went into UKPlc. Enhancing the South GDP, not draining it

Enlightenment? There was a Scottish enlightenment, regrettably most of that intellect has now been swapped for nationalistic ignorance.

The average Scot contributes less in taxation per head than the English and takes significantly more per head in government expenditure.

So Maxred - your 'contribution' has not enhanced anything apart from a sense of entitlement.

Classic SNP - the end justifies the means.

Suspend all rationality - vote FREEDOM!

I'm going to really enjoy living in the Northern equivalent of Greece (my money will be well to the south!)

Suggest we all try and keep it aviation (and friendly) on here, there'a a handy thread on JB for the politics and point scoring.

So if Scotland do vote yes, will we be able to claim drawback for a flight there?

And will the Scots have the same for a flight South?

Will Scotland form its own CAA or will the UK CAA act on their behalf? (if so, trust a bill will be sent north!)
