A 12-year-old boy who had his prized model plane stolen while he was out flying it on the Malvern Hills has been given another one.

Richard Dee was devastated when the £150 glider was stolen on Saturday by two teenagers on bikes.

Carer Judy Forbes, of Droitwich, heard about Richard's plight and remembered that there was a plane in the attic of the Malvern Wells home of her old friend Robert Baker.

Mr Baker had to move into a residential home and Mrs Forbes has had to clear his house. She contacted the Gazette to get in touch with Richard's family and offer the glider to him.

"Mr Baker was a keen model maker and I'm sure he made this glider," she said. "I was going to leave it up in the attic but then I read about the lad having his glider stolen.

"I just thought it would be nice to give it to him, and I'm sure Mr Baker would be pleased to know it has gone to someone who'll enjoy the use of it."

Wendy Dee, Richard's mother, said: "We're absolutely delighted. It's great that people are so kind."
