RNTR Arrochar
The very last torpedo to be ranged, at RNTR Arrochar, was fired on the 19th March 1986. This historic occasion ended a long and successful period of torpedo ranging at the Head of Loch Long stretching back over 74 years.
The RN Torpedo Range opened officially in April 1912, under the control of Chief Gunner (T) D J O’Meara, MBE RN, to support the manufacture and testing of torpedoes produced by the first RN Torpedo Factory, which opened in Greenock in 1910. Previous torpedoes within the Royal Navy Department were manufactured only at the Royal Navy Gun Factory, Woolwich, and ranged at Bincleaves near Weymouth.
