Redcar steelworks

Me too. Was part of the Davy McKee team that designed and built the 14m dia. blast furnace. In the late 60s when BSC agreed to build a new iron making facility on Teesside, the originally study was for 4 identical blast furnaces side by side. There was a second 14m dia. blast furnace designed and manufactured but it was decided to install it at Port Talbot. It was never built but used as spares for relines and rebuilds at Redcar. It breaks my heart to see it now, and the state it is in.

Many changes from Davy Ashmore International, Davy McKee, Trafalgar House ad infinitum takeovers.

You'd have started under Bev E, a great guy and cartoonist, left the party far too early.

Ron Mitchell was HoD when I joined, followed by Jeff Gillson. Bev was a great bloke as you say, and passed away far too young.
