Fairfield Heritage Centre


After my visit to BAE Systems I popped in to the Fairfield Heritage Centre for another browse.

The staff are extremely warm and welcoming and it's well worth a visit to see the heritage on display.

I'm sure I'll be back for another visit one of these days.

BAE Govan Open Day


Today was the open day for the families of BAE Govan workers.

Thankfully the weather stayed dry for most of the time with just the odd shower.

A good opportunity to see the sheds and how shipbuilding has evolved and changed to the present day facilities.
