Chocks away for garden Spitfire
A retired doctor has built a replica of a Spitfire fighter in the front garden of his home.
Former GP Hamish MacLeod had the model delivered in sections to his house in Moffat, in Dumfries and Galloway.
Dr Macleod, who has had a life-long passion for the iconic World War II fighter, then put it together with the help of friends.
He said he was delighted to have "the most fabulous looking aircraft ever" taking pride of place on his lawn.
Dr MacLeod intends to leave the model Spitfire to the people of Moffat, a town with close links to the aircraft.
Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding - credited with masterminding the Battle of Britain -was born in the town.
