Ex Scottish International 100 Kart Racing Team 19canteen

but I dont remember seeing that flag when the "lady" drove into me on the day I acted as starter.

The flag attached I like to see in a marina, means "drinks being served,welcome aboard" in this neck of the woods but is an official burgee for something else.

Thanks for the Burgee clue - never heard the word before.

Got it Dave. Not a real yacht club, just a downtown pub in an inland Californian town.

Seems like a place I`d like to avoid

I'm off out to the Ellesmere Port Show - taking some pennies too

Then I'm working tonight so no time to look for a flag.

POST A FLAG ANYONE PLEASE ......... and the game goes on.

OK to keep on the same track , another pennant.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 06, 2012, 09:56:21 pm »

Right

so the thistle means it must be north of Watford Junction.

The Americans have a class of yacht called Thistle, but can't see a connection.

I've got that bit but finding the correct **** club is another matter.....

Arrow5 · « **Reply #34 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:05:20 am »

I didnt know that Jonty. There was an early Americas Cup challenger from Scotland called Thistle but it failed. Nope you are on the wrong lines.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:07:05 am »

You are also on the wrong lines W3bby

Norseman · « **Reply #36 on:** March 07, 2012, 11:32:21 am »

I am pretty sure I have seen this before and it is railway
Thistles suggest up in Sotland to me -but I'm guessing

If railway then my mate Mervyn would know but he's in
Turkey just now.

4ft 8.5" even up here Dave.

I thought you would have got that initially

BTW we are not all sots, some of us just like a wee dram

Norseman · « **Reply #38 on:** March 07, 2012, 03:22:24 pm »

I thought it was another burgee - very cunning to stick with the shape - hee hee

I'll work at northern railway routes and get back to you - it better not be a quartz mine
track on Eigg

Not the only one Dave. Should have known it would be railways from past postings. It is the North_British_Railway.

Well done wsbby
I'd like to see a photo with the flag in use - any ideas?

Dave

Arrow5 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 07, 2012, 03:39:19 pm »

Spot on W3bby, the initials were there right under the pennant plus all the "lines" "tracks" "Watford JUNCTION" . I was running out of hints , how do I get "points", "ballast", "signals" into it so a sleepy railwayman would get it

Now to see (sea

) what ships the NBR had if any. Why else a pennant ?!

Norseman · « **Reply #42 on:** March 07, 2012, 03:48:29 pm »

I'm one of those heavy sleepers and hence I missed your several points,
for my brain is only used for ballast and thus ignored your obvious signals
to get me on track.

Dave

Arrow5 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 07, 2012, 04:19:52 pm »

Just did a short search for NBR ships and they did have a few on both east and west coast of Scotland , couldn't find a picture of any with the pennant.

w3bby · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:30:05 am »

I generally ignore the flags file name as most change it, guess that has to change now...

Norseman · « **Reply #45 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:26:38 am »

Hi w3bby
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
gives it as
Jain - five coloured flag

Dave

w3bby · « **Reply #46 on:** March 08, 2012, 08:19:14 am »

Yes Dave

The flag of Jainism

Ranakpur, probably the most awe inspiring temple I have ever seen.

Norseman · « **Reply #47 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:32:23 pm »

Nice temple

Messy flag (my opinion and not a clue lads)

Yes I changed the name w3bby

Dave

essex2visuvesi · « **Reply #48 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:55:07 pm »

Arrow5 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:19:01 pm »

Ah yes the small port in western France, Le Port du Messy.

You cant fool me, that WAS a hint
