| Our first photo in this sequence (from Anon) shows the old cylinder being removed from the main mast... |
| Martin Watkins visited Wenvoe in November 20XX and was able - thanks to a warm welcome from an engineer on site - to take photos of the old UHF cylinder on the ground, as well as the new wrap-around reserve waiting to take its place on the new extension of the main mast. |
| You can tell what time lunch is served! |
| The temporary mast, in full use. |
| The main mast, now complete with 25 m extension to accommodate the wrap-around reserve UHF aerial. |
| It looks as though DAB services stayed where they were during the works. |
| Here's the old UHF cylinder, installed in 1986, back on terra firma. |
| The upper part is on the left, the lower on the right (both viewed "from below") |
| The upper half, seen from below again. There are no less than eight slot aerials distributed round the spine. |
| The lower half, from below. |
| Lower half, from below. |

| Unlike any other slots that have been photographed during DSO, the ones at Wenvoe appear to have some sort of director element grid system clipped onto the main units. |
| Lower half, top end to the left. BELOW: And here we see part of the new reserve aerial assembly waiting to be installed... |
| This phase of the work is now complete, all materials have been removed and the site made secure. |
