Norman, I take your point about him as a man, and it's name. But don't forget the wider community of Shipbuilding across the river, I worked mostly in Swanns but across the years also Leslie's, Palmers and the Naval yard. We need to remember and maintain our history.
How has it come to be that all Naval shipbuilding is now concentrated in Rosyth , and not the Tyne,Wear, or Teesside, we have a long history and SNP policy is they don't want Nuclear power in Scotland.
By the way I love Scitland but also worked on both Illustrious and Ark Royal.
