Tributes are paid to 'passionate' flying instructor, 80, who was killed with boy, 16, in the light aircraft crash
Ian Haggis, known as 'the Flying Haggis', was at the controls of a 1981 Piper Tomahawk when it came down north of Drymen, Stirlingshire, on Friday. The two-seater took off from Glasgow Airport at 4.17pm and stopped transmitting 20 minutes later. Friend Joseph Thompson said his 'heart goes to his family'.
Ian Haggis began by instructing RAF Scholarship students before flying air taxis and air ambulances.
The 45-year-old plane was bought in April and registered to Leading Edge Flight Training Ltd.
He was reportedly 'always wanting to help others learn'.
