50/10 Club puts business world at heart of new hospice build
The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice is harnessing the support of Scotland’s business community in its capital appeal to raise £21million to build a new healthcare facility in the city’s Bellahouston Park. The idea of the 50/10
Club is to get 50 businesses to get behind the Brick by Brick Appeal by raising £10,000 each towards the £500,000 required to pay for the atrium area in the new hospice. Companies already signed up to pledge their support include Little’s Chauffeur Drive, Glasgow Whisky and Odgers Berndston. The atrium will be the heart
of the new build which will offer a warm welcome and a sense of home. Visitors will be welcomed in a comfortable yet practical environment with seating and a fire where patients and their families can relax and spend time together.
The 50 businesses taking part will all be invited to celebrate the 50/10 Club’s achievement at a finale dinner as well as being acknowledged on a plaque in the atrium and a collective piece of artwork. The Prince & Princess of
Wales Hospice provides free, specialist palliative care for those living with terminal and life-limiting illnesses.

First plane ever to land at Glasgow Airport returns 50th anniversary
The aircraft which had the honour of being the first to touch down at Glasgow Airport in May 1966 made a return as part of the airport’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The Cherokee 6 aircraft first landed at Glasgow Airport on
Sunday 1 May 1966 when it was piloted by Captain Kenneth Foster of Loganair. The all-important test flight ensured the new airport was able to pass the rigorous tests set by the then Ministry of Aviation enabling it to officially open for
business on 2 May 1966. After a gap of 50 years, it was
discovered that the Cherokee 6 was still in operation and being used as a skydiving aircraft by the Wingglider Flying Club based in North Lincolnshire.
