Um... I have made no selection: so far I have marked on map all the lighthouses that I am aware of from Saint-Jean-de-Luz in Aquitaine to Lorient. I thought we better have an overall view of all the lighthouses available before we decide which one to model in game
Here is the file:

If you have Google Earth installed, just double click on the kmz file to add it to the list of GE's custom locations. The lighthouses are found in a folder called "Lighthouses of France" and they are grouped by department. Click on any item in the list, to zoom the map on it. Click on the icons on map to open a window with information, pictures and links. If you want the coordinates of any lighthouse, right click on its name in the list or on its icon on map, and select 'Properties'.

Useful, thanks
Since we are at it: do you want me to update the coordinate calculator spreadsheet with your adjusted formulas?

Okay I will remove them, no problem, but I am afraid that the explosion of that gas cylinder wont be enough to demolish the top of the solid reinforced concrete tower by itself. The explosion will probably blast away some railings and part of the eaves though

If hit points of the top tower model are as high as the overall hit points of the unit, or even higher, there is an high chance that the unit will be destroyed as soon as, or before, the tower-top is blasted away.
