Ben Nevis was visited during the end-of-fire-season-FLO-get-together in May 2021. The old hut is still there and looks to be in good condition. Photos above were taken and supplied by Andre Belterman.

Photos of the original tower were supplied by Peter McHugh in Jan 2022.
They were discoverd in the Vic Forestry collection. Year and source are unknown.
