Two more Lanark Airshow memorials planned

For the Airshow Committee has been so successful in raising funds that, in addition to the sculpture being created, there is enough money for a play plane at the Loch.

And there could be even be a second plane, as Rolls Royce is interested in having its apprentices work on a commemorative aircraft.

"It is amazing how the money has come in," said Airshow Committee chairman Sylvia Russell. "I have been astounded.

"We met all our targets, and I am absolutely thrilled."
