A very carefully curated and themed museum there:

"So where do you want this Spitfire?"

"Oh just hang it above the giraffe"

"The giraffe standing by the massive starfish?"

"Yep, that's the one"

Genius.

It was moved to Cottesmore when they moved there, then up to Lossiemouth.

Did she fling you a deafy then? How sad....


PS Youse can have the Art Galleries Spitfire back when the last vestige of your Yank-controlled nuclear phallic symbol leaves the Clyde.

But not the Griffon, cos it's not in it.

Okay. I'll trade you Independence for one used Spitfire. Deal?

Consolidated Pneumatics of Fraserburgh (now defunct, but were known locally as 'The Toolies') were a major manufacturer of RR Merlins. An old lady in Aberdeen once told me she worked there building them. She was really annoyed when they put her on night shift as she missed all the dances. Imagine asking your Granny what she did during the war and she says she built Rolls Royce Merlin engines. Straight away you'd know you'd never be as cool as her.

Yep, you can have the subs, and the warheads. Thousands of jobs for Devonport or Portsmouth, or both.

That's only a still. There's a Typhoon behind him that appeared before they panned round to the Spitfire.

A more accurate thread title would be "Boris's visits Stromness and Lossiemouth on a tax payer funded campaigning stint".
