I recently saw a plaque at Workington Harbour (Cumbria) commemorating the landing of Mary Queen of Scots in 1568 after her flight from Scotland.

Does anyone know what sort of planes were used in the 16th Century and which company she travelled with. Presume it was some sort of sea-plane????

Ummm... Its not the flying kind of flight! It refers to her escaping from scotland!

No planes in the 16th Century i'm afraid.

�Flight� meaning �the act of running away� is completely unrelated to �flight� in the flap-your-wings sense, and comes from the Old English �flyht,� closely related to �flee.�

Maybe she drank redbull.

Ah, yes: a 'newbie' posing a humorous postulation! I thought the question contained an element of jocularity. Let's hope that all 'newbies' do not turn out to be as cantankerous as you; once they have gained their colors!

But how should one pi$$ off?

Float a dinghy on a stream of wee? I'm confused and its the 21st C, I thought everything that could be invented has been invented by now.

Is there a special vehicle for pi$$ing off? Has fagidill got one?
