Reunion for aerospace workers

BAE Systems in Chadderton

ANYONE who worked at the British Aerospace factory at Chadderton can meet up with old friends and colleagues at what could be the final reunion party.

The event is being held on Friday, October 14, at the Lancaster Club in Failsworth.

Organiser Alan Quinn, who worked at Chadderton, said: "We know that the old club and the grounds will soon be sold off to developers so this could well be the last reunion."

The Chadderton site closed in 2012 with many of the 200 workforce transferring to other BAE sites in Lancashire.

Smash

The Chadderton factory was opened in 1939 to build the Lancaster Bombers that would eventually smash Hitler's Third Reich ­- it also built the Vulcan, the BAE 146 regional jet and wing parts for the Airbus family of planes.

"We always ask for a £5 donation to come along," added Alan.

"All donations will go to charity and doors open at 7pm."
