Death[edit]

It would be useful to have some more sources about the accident. The pilot may have been Squadron Leader Peter Tunstall. The accident is not mentioned in his Telegraph obituary, but he was about the right age.

William Logan was appointed (by the then Secretary of State for Scotland, Willie Ross) in 1965 or 1966 as a founding Board member of the then new Highlands and Islands development Board (later known as Highlands and Islands Enterprise - it would seem as the most notable Highland entrepreneur of the time. the aoppointment should surely have been mentioned.Delahays (talk) 14:15, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
