This is one of Doug's over on FLICKR.

My question is: when was the top of Mt Kellet chopped off? It's quite pointy on this 1954 picture, but these days the top is discernably flatter. Any idea why or when it was done?

Hi Phil. Some information is given here 

1959 is confirmed with the commissioning of the radio aid on Mount Kellett as shown here

Thanks moddsey. I should've looked a bit harder :-)
