A stricken World War Two seaplane has been removed from Loch Ness today.
Miss Pick Up – the last airworthy flying boat in the UK – has been balanced on a buoy since Sunday after experiencing engine issues which prevented her from taking off.
The removal of the 10-tonne seaplane from the water was meticulously planned by members of The Catalina Society – a consortium of 20 enthusiasts.
A gofundme page was set up, and in its first day raised more than £13,000 to help have her removed from the waters for further investigation.
