One of the most bizarre episodes of World War Two unfolded on a farm to the south of Glasgow on 10 May 1941.
A German airman parachuted out of his Messerschmitt Bf 110 just before it crashed near Floors Farm in Eaglesham.
He was promptly arrested by a pitchfork-wielding local farmer who took him to his farmhouse before alerting the authorities.
The German identified himself as Captain Alfred Horn and demanded to see the Duke of Hamilton because he had an important message for him.
