We would indeed have something to worry about if planes arriving at Heathrow did so by heading for the Crystal Palace mast and clearing it! Might be even more tricky when the top was in cloud. Fortunately standard approaches to keep the planes safely above the ground were developed as long ago as the 1930's - at Croydon Airport. In fact a controller at Croydon Airport got the world's first Air Traffic Controller's licence.
