not the usual scottish welcome

I say "fly boys " as I guess you perhaps were stationed at us airfield near Cambletown.

Next time in helensburgh give me a shout , and you can come and meet the helcats and share some scottish swally


Hmmmm, despite a few brawls after pubs closed (and ALWAYS due to drunk locals being jealous of the girls attention on the "yanks"..) i didn't find the locals to be unfriendly at all... this was 20+ years ago.

I was in the USNavy, stationed at Macrahansih RAF base. There was very few Americans there.

Thank you for the invite... maybe one day.... smile
