Yesterday we noted the remarkable lack of coverage in the Scottish press about the workforce at BAE Systems in Govan being stabbed in the back yet again over UK government warship orders, with five Type 31 frigates promised to the yard (to replace five more expensive Type 26s) now going to Merseyside instead.

We claimed that newspapers including the Record had completely ignored the story in their print editions (and in most cases online as well), but an alert reader pointed out that it fact the Record HAD featured it, and we’re happy to correct our error.

Here it is, on page 14:

Did you spot it?

We’ll help you out a bit.

Tell you what, let’s zoom in.

So there you go. In three brief sentences approximately the size of two second-class postage stamps, Record readers were told that the vessels, worth hundreds of millions of pounds, “could be” moved and “may be” built somewhere else.

The reality is in fact somewhat more definite than that – the Type 31s are gone, BAE aren’t even going to try to bid to build them on the Clyde, and the expanded “frigate factory” promised by the UK government before the independence referendum is a dead duck floating on the water – but we suppose we understand why the Record would want to break the news of the latest betrayal gently.

Nevertheless, we care about facts at Wings Over Scotland and it wasn’t correct to say that the Record totally blanked the story yesterday. We offer the paper our apologies.
