And as your link says, they departed Southampton but were forced to put into Plymouth for repairs.

FO Plymouth.

Over a month later. I don't think that counts as the same voyage tbh. So it is Plymouth.

Southampton shouldn't be so desperate that it needs to claim that... and Henry V's departure on his Agincourt campaign is far more important anyway.

also hate to burst another of southampton's bubbles, but the hawker hurricane was more vital to the battle of britain than the spitfire was

Erm, Ayr isn't a city. And it may not have made much of a contribution to British culture (if there is such a thing), but its contribution to Scottish culture is significant. </BLOCKQUOTE>
You don't think British culture exists? </BLOCKQUOTE>
I'm not sure. I could go either way on that one. </BLOCKQUOTE>
I think it does. The nations in Britain are similar to each other and yet distinct from the nations in continental Europe. Without going into way too much detail I think that in itself suggests a culture that is unique to Great Britain, but isn't definably English, Scots or Welsh. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Perhaps, but I feel there is a clear distinction between the Celtic culture of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, northern france, etc. and the anglo cultural tradition.

they left from southampton and stopped for repairs in plymouth!

the journey therefore started in southampton

if you a going on a motorway trip in a car from a to b and stop in c for petrol you still are going from a to b not c to b!

but if you have to stay in C for a month while you car is repaired ( and given that C is a hell of a lot closer to A than B ) then it would be classed as a brand new journey imo

The place is still contributing, even today.

I think that belief might be more out of desire than reality

Scotland has a national identity certainly but on it's own that doesn't represent culture. There's no culture shift for a Scotsman moving to the south of England for example.

Anyway, it's not really important I was just intrigued by what you thought.
