    I understand that Jamie wants to be less involved in X Marks, but I cannot see why the Saltire can’t continue its travels.
    Mike, the reason is, from what I can tell, that Jamie never intended for the Saltire to become communal or forum member property. It is, and always was his own, personal property, with which he has full rights to dispense or dispose of at his sole discretion -- something he has clearly chosen to do in a particular way.

    Not that I agree, but let's think this through to its logical conclusion. Had the Saltire "succeeded" in visiting all the world's continents, then what? Jamie would still have the option of EITHER displaying the airship and logbook in his own home, or donating it to Hamish or Steve or someone in order for other members to see and visit.

    I have some ideas that I would also like to contribute to the future of a similar project, but I think a new thread might be in order for that.

    EDIT: Done. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...estions-63951/
