Police are investigating after activists vandalised a Glasgow industrial facility operated by Component Coating and Repair Services, part of Curtiss-Wright.
Red paint was thrown across the building and security fencing early on Thursday.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “On the morning of Thursday, 27 November, 2025, we received a report of damage to a premises on Spiersbridge Terrace in Glasgow. Enquiries are ongoing.”
The group behind the vandalism said they targeted the site because, in their view, it supports military aircraft programmes and weapons systems. Their statement associates the Glasgow facility with electronic-warfare work for the F-35, computer systems for combat aircraft and drones, and components linked to US and Israeli military platforms.
Those descriptions do not align with what we know to be accurate on the operation at Spiersbridge Terrace. Curtiss-Wright lists the Glasgow facility as a specialist coating and component-repair centre for turbine and aerospace hardware, providing services such as diffusion and overlay coatings, vacuum brazing and Ipcote protective treatments. Typical work includes refurbishing or coating turbine blades, nozzle guide vanes, flame tubes and other industrial or aerospace parts for customers like Rolls-Royce, Siemens and GE.
The Scottish site also provides corrosion- and erosion-resistant coatings for oil and gas components. The Glasgow facility does not manufacture electronic-warfare equipment, drone systems or the weapons-related components described by the activists.
Looks like more people need to go on the terrorist register. Perhaps we should ban anyone connected with palastine action from collecting benefits as none of them appear to work and most seem to be claiming disability.
I get your feelings, but that’d be a poor move. The Palestine Action prescription has backfired – it’s become an incentive to protest violently as opposed to deterring it.
Perhaps the government could consider introducing terrorist awareness training to teach terrorists how to correctly identify their targets. This doesn’t seem to be anything specifically to do with what’s going on in Palestine.
This would have to be a new part of the benefits system adding TaT alongside PiP?
So this isn’t the place drove a van into loading bay door and then attacked with a sledgehammer, and allegedly hit a police officer in the spine with the sledgehammer?
