This mast is an FC radio aerial mast erected by myself and my REB staff in the early 1970's. I remember it well because I had to have special curved bolts made to anchor the mast to its base prior to lifting, so that they acted as hinges. The wire guy ropes had to be anchored before the Kockums could be released. Comment left on 02 June 2011 at 16:50 by Don Amer
