Narrative:A plane parked on an airport tarmac was flipped upside down in 76 mph gale force winds. The light plane was tied down at Campbeltown Airport in Argyll and Bute but hurricane-force winds broke the plane from its bonds, lifted it into the air and turned it upside down. No-one was inside the aircraft, which weighs about half a tonne, at the time of the incident on Monday.
