Well the germans/dutch did and he somehow took them out and imprisoned them. In fairness it might be worth a pop it's worth £60m+ according to that article.

ahh I see thought they'd just be concrete or something that's good.
Read about the fire just now, it was in the news 2006


Sally - yeah that's it pictured

I can see it from my beach, it's for real.

There was once a ban on taking any surplies to it from the UK

The guy that owns it sounds like a bit of a plonker, I wouldnt cry too hard if the Navy torpedoed the platform.

I wouldn't as he has a shotgun fro repelling invaders

As for suggestions of the Navy torpedoing it, well it ain't gonna work

The structures have been there since the war, a couple of dinky torpedos arn't going to replicate 50+ years of North sea wave action, the're hardly going to scratch the surface.

Plus they're round, so torpedos going to deflect off in another direction

your sv would corrode badly riding round that platform.

I will add it was a very calm day when I did it

It must hav ealso been on one of the 'king's' good days !! I remember back in the 80's when I sailed with the Ocean Youth Club, this loony taking a potshot at our boat with his shotgun - from long range thankfully.

So we can shoot him back then, ill take his piers out lol

He has 2 distinct advatages, a a fixed platform to shoot from and a height advantage.

Maybe a night assault using limpet mines and mini subs would work

Plus we've used this method before and it's proven........ Sunk the Turpitz
