50 years ago Coventry Cathedral's spire was lifted into place by RAF helicopter, here is the original footage. http://t.co/P4C6P1Fx. BBC Coventry & Warwickshire traced one of the pilots, Squadron Leader Ron Salt and brought him back to Coventry and took him up on the roof to see his work 50 years on.
We asked him about his impressions of the city skyline at the time and now. . . .
