A 16-year-old boy and 80-year-old man have died following a light aircraft crash near Loch Lomond.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at about 16:45 on Friday.

The boy and man were pronounced dead and their next of kin have been made aware, police said.

Temporary airspace restrictions are currently in place over the area while the Air Accidents Investigation Branch conduct their inquiries.

The Piper Tomahawk II aircraft, with the registration G-LFSU, took off from Glasgow Airport on Friday afternoon at 16:17.

It stopped transmitting at 16:37, a few miles north east of Drymen in Stirling.

Earlier the plane had taken off from Cumbernauld Airport at 11:46 on Friday morning, before flying 15 minutes to Glasgow Airport.

It stayed there until around 13:00, before doing a two-hour flight north east to Newport on Tay before turning round and heading back to Glasgow.

It was on the ground at the airport for just over an hour before it took off again and started its final flight.
