Report - BAE Systems, Woodford - March 2019

[Renown36]

That was around 1988 , i was there as a fitters mate 18 at the time with a fitter to refurbish the hangers doors after the collapse , the hanger fell on a near refurbished Lancaster bomber ,i was going there to whole site till woodford closed servicing and repairing the hanger doors as most were automated, the canteens were no good as they were that good you needed up putting weight on lol, was you contracted via Drewers as they were our contacts back then

No,I worked for a company called Joint Construction,like i say we only had a two week contract to burn up the collapsed hangar and remove it for scrap and ended up strengthening every hangar on site over nine years.
Great place to work and a good pub just down the road from the main enterance called the Davenport Arms or the (Thieves Neck) to the locals!
