Hi Vic,i think it was a calculated plot against Capt.???,being a ozzifer,he knew how to drop the tower without a risk assessment and health and safety being considered,its only a pity nobody was there with a movie camera to record the event,it was years later at one of our reunions in Konigslutter i met up with Major(at the time it happened)Ralph Plant who was the O.C. and one of the topics he mentioned was taking down the tower,and yes we had a good laugh about it,best regards from Ken.
