On this very blustery November day in 1990, the wind around the tower was gusting at 50 knots. The area was crowded with excited politicians, dignitaries and the Worlds press. The operation was moments away from being cancelled because of the dangerous conditions as both the steel pyramid top and myself could have tipped or spun out of control. Suddenly the wind dropped considerably, so I radioed “shall we try to lift”, most agreed, one crane was attached to me and another to the pyramid and up we went. Halfway up the tower, around 500ft, it started to gust again, as predicted my box and the pyramid started to slowly spin, I was committed, so on I went to the top... Seemed like a good idea at the time!

The wind still gusting at 50 knots. The three flags of the United States, Canada and the Union Jack were already attached to the pyramid on the ground, the spinning on the way up had caused them to tightly knot up around the posts. The tension, noise, controlled mayhem and bravery of the steelworkers who were desperately trying to secure this heavy teetering final piece of the jigsaw was amazing to witness. I was still hanging on for dear life in a box 850 feet in mid-air yet just 50 feet away from the action. I shouted across to the steelworkers “can you pull the flags out” after much tugging and pulling he shouting back triumphantly “is that OK”. I raised a thumbs up and captured this final moment, then at last, I could happily radio the crane driver, “get me out of here”
