Volume 15, No 5 1994 WE LL PAY YOU £24,000* WHILE YOU TAKE YOUR DEGREE. (THAT SHOULD KEEP YOU IN TRAINERS.) Our trainers are an eye-catching red, white and blue and come in a variety of sizes. They’re available to anyone who takes up an RAF Cadetship while they study at university or polytechnic, no matter which officer branch they’re being sponsored for — from Aircrew to Admin. Those hoping to become pilots and navigators will receive flying tuition, but everyone will have the chance to get some flying experience. You can apply for a Cadetship while you’re still at school, and once you’re at university, you’ll become an Acting Pilot Officer right away. Not only does this offer you the chance to fly, you could also get a good grounding in one of the 19 non-flying branches in the RAF. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll receive an annual salary as well as having all the costs of your course paid. Which should help keep you in a manner to which few students are accustomed. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to take up a shorter commission in the RAF, you can still apply for a bursary, which is w orth £1,200 a year. For further information about RAF Sponsorship, contact your RAF Senior Careers Liaison Officer through your Careers Service. After all, if you really want to impress your friends, there’s only one type of trainer to be seen in. ROYAL AIR FORCE SPONSORSHIP RACE RELATIONS - WE OFFER EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

  • “We Wanted a Parliament but They Gave Us a Stone” the Coronation Stone of the Scots As a Memory Box in the Twentieth Century
    “We wanted a parliament but they gave us a stone” The Coronation Stone of the Scots as a Memory Box in the Twentieth Century JÖRG ROGGE In this article a memory box is presented, in which and to which different meanings were contained and attached in the course of seven centuries.1 This memory box is the coronation stone of Scottish kings, nowadays on display in Edinburgh Castle, the external form of which has remained for the most part unchanged. The roughly 150 kg heavy, 67 cm long, 42 cm wide and 28 cm high sandstone block was used in the Middle Ages at the inauguration of Scottish kings.2 In the course of history, however, it was removed from its original functional context and transferred to other cultural and political contexts. In this connection, both diachronic and also synchronic transfers of the coronation stone and the concepts of political order in the island of Britain stored in it were carried out. At present it is still an important memory box filled with political concepts, and it was and is a starting point for research into the relationship between the Scots and the English over the past 700 years. It is remarkable that this stone was used by nationally emotional Scots and also by the Government in London as symbol in important debates in the twentieth century. Historical recollections are transported by the Scots and the English with the stone that one may certainly call a container of memory. Here I 1 My thanks go to John Deasy for translating the German text into English as well as to the editors for finishing the final formatting.

  • Annual Review 2018 – 19
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.

  • The Adventure of the Stone of Scone - Ston the Return of Solar Pons, 1958
    The Adventure of the Stone of Scone - Ston The Return of Solar Pons, 1958 Date Copper/December 25, 1930 Pattrick/December, 1935 The Case Parker is awakened at Pons just before 4 AM on Christmas morning. Bancroft is on his way over to Praed Street. Once he arrives, he tells them that the Stone of Scone, the ancient Coronation Stone of the Scottish people has been stolen from Westminster Abbey. It is a symbolic item and the English government wants it back with a minimum of embarrassment. Pons quickly determines that it was taken by three men and a woman and goes to work. Quotes This bids fair to be the merriest of Christmases! Comments Pons tells his brother that Bancroft must have come “on a matter of the utmost gravity.” He adds that it is not connected with the Foreign Office because of the hour. That seems a specious deduction, at best. Foreign Office affairs would certainly be likely to require immediate attention at any moment, twenty-four hours a day. Certainly, this is a police matter: the symbol of Scottish independence has been stolen. But Bancroft makes it clear that it is the government that is most concerned. Wouldn’t the issue be a Foreign Office matter as well? The Stone of Scone’s formal name is the Stone of Destiny, though the former name is used widely outside of Scotland. The kings of Scotland were crowned upon a throne built above the Stone of Destiny, which was “about twenty-six inches long and sixteen wide, and weights considerably over four hundred pounds, almost five.” Edward I conquered Scotland and took the stone back to England.
