No Mark, you can see the canteen door at the top of the picture, the old fab shop was either next shop to the right or second shop to the right before they were turned into the Valve machining area.

The very end was the old Dev shop (before we moved into the purpose built test & development)next to us was the fab shop which i thought was what we are looking at

If you was to walk out of the open door on the picture and turned right towards seamen way, the last building on your right would have been the dev shop and the fab shop was next door where i think Derek Baldwin The foreman used to knock up wrought iron gates on nights.
