The anemometer also
blew away in 1962:
Not just the anemometer. The whole Type 80 radar head got blown off the top of the hill at Saxa Vord once. When I worked there in January 1974 they had a radome to protect the two radar installations, but even then we had to use a crawl rope to get out of the door from the radome and across the hardstanding to the (securely tied down) Landrover to get back to the station.
