A SPECIAL THANK YOU to Mr Coutts Riddell for donating a replica of the first SE5 aeroplane to be used by the British during the First World War. It comes complete with ace pilot Edward “Mick” Manus. Sincere thanks to Coutts for gifting us with such a special aeroplane. And grateful thanks to Mr Davie Laing and Mr Johnny Hunter who, flying with their angels’ wings, got it suspended from the roof! Quite an amazing feat!
