Scotland's National Museum of Flight in East Lothian is appealing for mothers who gave birth on board air ambulances to share their stories.

As part of its £3.6m project at East Fortune the museum wants to feature human stories linked to aircraft.

The museum has a Britten-Norman Islander, which was used by Loganair from 1967-2006 for an air ambulance for the Hebrides, Shetland and Orkney.

The project is due to be completed next year.

Mary Ferguson, community engagement officer at National Museums Scotland said: "An important element of the redevelopment at the National Museum of Flight is the opportunity to tell the human stories behind some of the aircraft on display.

"The Britten-Norman Islander air ambulance offered a vital service for island communities in Scotland and we're interested to learn more about the experiences of expectant mothers who travelled on these small aircraft."
