I worked there also from 1969-1975 in the operations Dept Also one of the few guys to get the opportunity to climb to the top of the concrete chimney you see internally to the 4 stacks within the concrete those were the days. Still have all the ops books & brochures from those days & Opening Day.

I worked in ops Dept from 1969 – 1975 and like others have said it was a good crew of lads. Also one of the few guys to have actually climbed internally to the top of the stack (four chimneys within the outer concrete one everyone sees).

Worked at Longannet from 1970 to mid ‘76 and loved working there with a great team in Maintenance Dept. Only left as my youngest daughter had chest problems , we lived in Grangemouth, so I had to change jobs to get out the area. Still have fond memories of my time there, and our nearby neighbours who also worked there.
