If the Saltire makes its way down to So Cal, I'd be glad to participate.
Pith helmet at the ready!

Great idea. We will need to have a kilt night in Dumfries when the Saltire lands at Ferintosh so that we can sign the log.

The hotel opposite Ferintosh has a suitable mooring tower!

I'm quite sure we could find a hanger for airship Saltire here in Southern Az.
A certain Count von Zeppelin is/was an umpteenth-or-so cousin of mine - I'll draw upon the well of ancestral memory to provide her safe haven for a night.

What a brilliant idea! That "certan kilted gentleman in West Sussex" will be not only pleased but proud to play a part in this epic voyage.
I am reminded of a recent item on our TV News: an ornamental garden gnome was stolen from a woman's front garden about 18 months ago and, very recently, she found the gnome on her doorstep with a parcel which contained a photo album. The images, all absolutely genuine, in the album were all of the gnome in various locations around the world: Sydney Harbour Bridge, atop the Empire State Building in NYC, at Edinburgh Castle, the Tower of London, etc., etc. The owner has no idea whatsoever of who did this - but what a wheeze!
Take care,
Ham.

A photo opportunity not to be missed - I'd be delighted to host a visit.

What a brilliant idea!
We also may have a place to park the air ship http://www.aht.ndirect.co.uk/sheds/Cardington.htm
I think it might fit, the R101 did,
I think this is a marvelous idea
