Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group


Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group had a small display at the entrance to the public access to RFA Fort Rosalie open day.

Two appliances, and the members were (as usual) kept busy with questions from interested visitors.

RFA Fort Rosalie Visits Greenock


 Scotts' Shipbuilding celebrates a 300th Anniversary next year.

Fort Rosalie was launched  in 1976 (as Fort Grange) and today she returned to her birthplace and was open to the public for viewing.

A very worthwhile tour and the crew were excellent in their hospitality.

Wish we had more days like this in Greenock.
