Sky Watch to cover entire Scotland
07:55, Jan 1 2009
A volunteer flying team which established itself in Scotland this year now hopes to patrol the entire country.
Sky Watch Civil Air Patrol said it had enjoyed a "busy" year in the north of the country, with challenges ranging from missing person searches to whale rescues.
In September Sky Watch signed an agreement with Grampian Police, and has assisted both it and Northern Constabulary in a number of searches. The No.23 (Highland) Unit of Sky Watch has aircraft based at RAF Kinloss and Lossiemouth in Moray and Longside near Peterhead, and recently began operating a second Scottish unit at Leuchars.
