RAF airlift for premature twins
An RAF Hercules aircraft has transferred twins born prematurely on a Scottish island to the mainland.
The plane touched down at Glasgow Airport after carrying the babies from Stornoway in the Western Isles. It is understood that the infants have now arrived at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow.
The emergency rescue operation began when the mother went into labour early on Sunday night and was taken to the Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, in the Outer Hebrides.
