Erskine Veterans Charity has launched an appeal to source a tank or aircraft for display at its Veterans Village in Bishopton.

The charity is aiming to honour the residents with a tribute to be placed at the entrance of the facility.

Whether it's a tank, an aircraft, or a naval anchor, Erskine is scouting for an installation that it hopes will excite both residents and visitors.

Gordon Stevenson, deputy head of marketing and communications at Erskine Veterans Charity, said: “At Erskine, we are always keen to honour our veterans in any possible way.

"We know this is an audacious effort, but we believe a tribute of this scale would bring great joy to our all of our residents and catch the eye of the many visitors through our gates.

“We are reaching out to the local community, businesses, and individuals who may have access to or knowledge about available former aircraft or military vehicles suitable for display."

The appeal has been launched as Erskine celebrates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 6.

Mr Stevenson added: "Whether retired from active service or in need of restoration, nothing is off limits. We believe that each piece has its own unique story to tell and can help us contribute to honouring our Veterans' unwavering dedication to our Forces.

“Basically, if anyone knows where to get a tank, please get in touch.”
