Firearms legislation is the same through England, Scotland and Wales. It was not devolved to the Scottish government who are on record as wanting more stringent laws.
I was only in the UK in 1970, to 1972. Air crew member on a C141 cargo plane.
At RAF Mildenhall, England. Also RAF Lakenheath. Flying supplies to our bases in Europe.
Mostly Iceland for our base in Keflavik. We liked the women there
.
The men were jerks and wanted Americans out of the country.
The Soviet Union also used the sea ports. Our commanding officer didn't want us mingling with the Russians.
But they had vodka , a bit of bartering went on there. Back then a six pack of Coors beer is what everyone
On the base wanted. Another plane was sneaking it in, officers first of course. Icelandic's make a mean ham sandwich.
. From the shore you could watch the Soviet northern fleet go by.
