Thread Name: Crossing the Bar question
Subject: RE: Crossing the Bar question
We have a section in the journal of the Fleet Air Arm Association which is dedicated to those members who have recently "crossed the bar", as giving up the ghost is referred to in the Royal Navy.Whether the"bar" in question is a specific location ie The Palace Long Bar in Union Street,Plymouth, Millie's Bar in Changi ,Singapore or a bar in Cornwall is somewhat academic as far as Jolly Jack is concerned !!
