Blades from a World War Two aircraft were discovered buried in potato sacks in a peat bog on the Isle of Arran.
A propeller thought to be from a Second World War plane has been found buried in a peat bog on Arran.
The National Trust for Scotland said there were six WW2 plane crashes on land it now cares for on Arran, which are protected sites. "On closer inspection we found it had been wrapped and tied in a potato sack, which has added further intrigue to the find that lay some distance from the spread of the wreckage of the former crash sites.
It is now working with an aviation and aircraft expert to identify the objects and potentially match serial numbers of the parts to historic records held by the military.
