Fairlie’s Secret War

November 13 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

John Riddell

John Riddell worked as a civil engineer before becoming a senior lecturer and reader in water engineering at the University of Strathclyde.
During the Second World War the Royal Navy’s vitally important Anti-submarine Experimental Establishment was secretly moved from Portland in Dorset to the Ayrshire village of Fairlie, to escape German bombing on the south coast. Winston Churchill described the work done at Fairlie as critical to winning the Battle of the Atlantic and ultimately the war.
