Two Babcock employees have retired after clocking up a combined service of nearly a century.
Neil Cameron and Angela Hynd are the longest-serving man and woman to work at Rosyth Dockyard, with combined careers spanning 97 years.
Pitlochry-born Mr Cameron started working at the dockyard as an apprentice shipwright in May 1962, aged just 15.
The 69-year-old, who lives in Rosyth, became a shipwright five years later a position he held until retiring last month after more than 53 years’ service.
Great-grandfather Mr Cameron worked on almost every class of ship and submarine brought to Babcock’s Rosyth base over the last five decades.
Also an accomplished bagpipe player, he not only worked on the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth but also piped for the Queen during its naming ceremony in 2014.
He said: “I’ve always liked working here, I never once considered leaving.
“I’m going to miss this place really badly, especially the comradeship. I have enjoyed every minute that I’ve been here.”
Angela Hynd retired from her post as technical support team leader in business solutions earlier this month, having worked full-time for nearly 44 years.
Ms Hynd, who also celebrated her 60th birthday on the day she officially retired, started at the dockyard in April 1972 as an operator on an IBM1401 computer. Members of the public can now view this model at the Computer History Museum in America.
The grandmother-of-eight, who lives in Saline, said: “I’ve seen so many technology changes over the years.
“It really was a job for life for me and I have worked with a great group of people.”
Ian Donnelly, Babcock’s managing director of energy and marine services, said: “It’s an amazing feat to have worked at Babcock’s Rosyth facilities for as long as Neil and Angela have, and it says a lot about their loyalty to the company.
“I’d like to thank them both for their hard work and dedication and wish them the very best for the future.”
