Saxa's Type 80 Aerial in the 1960s did go rolling down the hill in strong winds, however in 1991 the biggest Radome on the hill let go in one of the highest wind speeds recorded in the UK (there was no radar in it at the time, as it was awaiting the fit of a Radar Type 93). The debris from that dome hit the rest of the domes on the site along with one of the link 11 towers. The result was all of the rest of domes let go and did serious damage to all of the radars on the site (Type 96 and a couple of HF200 height finders), plus the link 11 tower ended up bent in half. Knew a guy who was on duty at the Head's site at the time and he said it was a very scary night even with everybody withdrawn into the citadel area of the strongest buildings on the site.
