Scores of veterans attended a celebratory event marking 100 years of the RAF at the weekend.
The Banchory Museum on Bridge Street welcomed ex-forces personnel and their families on Saturday morning.
Decorated servicemen and women, who saw military action ranging from as far back as WWII to the present day, turned out for the occasion.
Organised by Banchory Legion, there were a host of photos on display as well as a number of videos about the history of the air force and its predecessor, the Royal Flying Corps.
As well as celebrating the force’s importance in the north-east, the organisers also hoped to bring people together who had lost touch over the years.
Chatterbox Cafe and Number One provided a birthday cake and cupcakes for the occasion.
Chris Collins, vice-chairman of the legion and a veteran of the Royal Artillery, said: “It was a great event, I think there were there about 60 people there at the one time.
“We had three veterans from WWII and we had people who had served in Afghanistan and Iraq as well.
“A big part of the day was the comrades contact wall where people could put their names down and write what base they had been posted at, and if anybody else was there for the same time they could link up.”
The photographic displays will remain on show at the museum until Easter and the facility is open Friday, Saturday and Monday from 11am until 3pm.
