A propeller thought to be from a Second World War plane has been found buried in a peat bog, sparking an investigation. The blade had been wrapped in potato sacks, with contractor Stewart Lambie initially worried he may have discovered human remains during the peatland restoration work at Coire a'Bhradain on Arran. The National Trust for Scotland has now launched a probe to identify its origin.
Mr Alexander said: 'On closer inspection, we found it had been wrapped and tied in a potato sack, which added further intrigue to the find that lay some distance from the spread of the wreckage of the former crash sites. 'It may have been gathered during the clean-up of the site in the 1940s, immediately after the impact, or through subsequent work by the trust in the 1980s. 'It's too early to tell, but we are determined to get to the bottom of it.
