Not Passing the Shipyard

8.3C with a cloudy morning and smir on and off in the afternoon.
Easterly wind to 25 mph with gusts to 41 mph.

Fergus and I went for a walk out to the old shipyard after lunch.
We cam back home round the esplanade by the harbour.
Two naval vessels in the loch today. M33 HMS Brocklesby was still there and a smaller vessel was close by. I couldn't find the smaller vessel on AIS. It is the smaller vessel in the photo.

Professor Jim Al-Khalili, physicist and broadcaster.
Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys - the scientist who discovered genetic fingerprinting. It is 25 years since his 'Eureka moment' - when, pulling an X-ray photograph of his assistant's genetic code out of the developing tray, he realised he could trace the links between her and her parents and that her own unique genetic profile had been revealed. Over the following years, he was the first person to settle immigration disputes, paternity issues and crimes based on DNA identification - he even found himself confirming the identity of the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who had fled Germany after the end of the Second World War.
I had the pleasure of meeting the then Dr Jeffreys at Leicester University in the very early 1980s on a short DNA manipulation course where he was one of the tutors. Back then I was involved with postgraduate research on the genetics of distillery yeast.
