Veterans build a 30ft Viking longboat named Stormbird in Darlington to aid mental health recovery.

Over 100 military veterans have built a 30ft replica Viking longboat named Stormbird in Darlington using traditional skills like wood-turning and metalwork. The project, which uses an oak tree felled on D-Day 2018, helps veterans cope with mental health issues. Stormbird will be displayed at the Jorvik Viking Festival in York from February 17 to 22 and will later be put on water. For more information, visit https://planesailing.org/.
