Independence takes off

THE launch of the Yes campaign on Scottish independence reminds Ken Wimbor of a recent flight to Gatwick from Edinburgh where, due to congestion, the plane was directed to a stand at international arrivals.

Says Ken: "The captain came on the intercom to let passengers know we would be disembarking within the international arrivals area. He then added: 'I would quickly like to reassure passengers that British Airways, for the time being, still regards flights from Edinburgh as internal ones.'"
