Relic lands at museum

ONE of the last surviving examples of the country's aviation manufacturing industry has been gifted to the nation by one of Scotland's most prominent noblemen.

Angus Douglas-Hamilton, the 15th Duke of Hamilton, who died last year, was a long-serving test pilot for "Bulldog" training aircraft, which were built near Prestwick Airport.

Now the late Duke's widow, Kay, has donated a prototype plane, which was bought by the Duke and flown regularly at the Museum of Flight airshow in East Lothian, to the new-look National Museum of Scotland.
