Thunder and Lightening was all around and one was hit !
It was anchored behind the Royal Oak on Upper Warwick St and Park Place.
There was a bit of flat land ( bomb site ) and this is the one that got hit and destroyed by the lightening.
It burst into flames and the worst part was, the heavy cable, dropping from so high up in the air
He thinks it reached as far as Sefton park !
One of the problems, whenever this happens was, when the cable was falling, obviously if it hit anyone, they would probably be dead AND it would obviously, fall across the electrified tram wires !
So for a couple of seconds, before it was earthed, it would be live !
On this occassion, the RAF were out in force and were cutting the cable up, into managable parts, to take away.
I hope I've done Harry's tale justice here
Harry is still, in mind, like he was when in his teens and remembers all sorts, from our history, in Liverpool. If you ever get the chance to talk to him, take it all in. One great man.
