To coincide with the RAF's 100th anniversary, photographs illustrating the heavy bombings in Peterhead have been put on display.

A wooden propeller from a Supermarine Seafire, the naval version of the Spitfire, is one of the centrepieces of RAF in the north east: flying off the knuckle.

There are also model aircrafts made from scrap brass by Peterhead resident Albert Anderson, who was stationed at RAF Peterhead.

Pictures of aircraft like Mustangs, Mosquitos, Beaufighters and Spitfires, which flew "off the knuckle" to defend the country during the Second World War are also on display.

Councillor Gillian Owen said: "It is important that we mark the 100th anniversary of the RAF.

"This fascinating exhibition is a fitting reminder of the sacrifice made by people both past and present.

"The north east has a huge tradition in defending our country in the skies above us and it is fitting that we remember them all."

The exhibition will run until May 29 at the Arbuthnot Museum in Peterhead.
