Correct; For those that found the poem but didnt try to read it, a cutty sark is a short shirt worn by one of "hellish legion" that chased Tam when he drunkenly stumbled upon a wild party of witches in the old ruined church of Alloway and saw just a little too much. Talk of coincidences..as I type Channel 4 is about to broadcast a piece on the evening news saving of the Clipper ship Cutty Sark from decay. It is currently in dry dock at Greenwich, London. Built in Aberdeen, Scotland, bye the way ! Just seen TV piece they are asking for £12 million from Lottery Fund, wonder if Glasgow`s tall ship will be considered too, somehow I doubt it.....My guess for #23 is a Heinkel He100 but before fitting retracts ?
