I have a vague memory that there is a wierd h-to-something that produces a glider which gets to destroy the natural first block produced by an hershel (so no need for fishhook/eater1 there)... but I cannot remember where I saw it. I just wondered if that one could fix that one h-to-g:

This is slightly interesting because the HWSS forms from one of the gliders in the same way that an LWSS normally forms.

EDIT :

forgot to add the block which adds a couple thousand gens
