Default Re: Memories and other stories from Pye etc PMR engineers.

Speaking of bad weather, one of my competitors had equipment a site at a place called "Hunters stones" in Yorkshire. High and lonely, it saw its fair slice of inclement weather.

In the very-early-1980s there was a bad winter, and much ice accretion on the tower. One of the workers sent out there on a maintenance visit beat a hasty retreat after his van took a foot-long icicle through the roof!
