AND FINALLY: A lovely 40-year-old story *

Forty years ago, on 13 August, twins Lynsey and David Henderson were uniquely born almost 40 miles apart.

The eldest of the two, Lynsey was delivered by Dr Freshwater on the special Loganair Britten-Norman Islander air ambulance flight as it flew over the sea enroute from Tingwall Airport to Aberdeen.

Younger brother David waited until wheels-down on the runway at Aberdeen Airport to make his special appearance.
