How do you drop a contact via LUA?

I created a Unit Remains in Area Trigger for x time, after which the airfield group changes to the red side via the code below. The airfield still remains as a contact on the red side after this event, and I would like to add syntax that drops the contact.

local myside = 'AIRCOM'
local mynewside = 'VKS'
local myname = {'Kirkenes Airport'}

for i = 1, #myname
do

ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({side=myside,name=myname[i],newside=mynewside})

end

Any help would be appreciated.

Once you get the contact wrapper from the side in question's perspective you can just call wrapperVar:DropContact();

local c = GetContact(side='oldside',guid='TheContactGuidHere') --reminders it's not the same as unit guid.
c:DropContact()

While back you can find example of something similar:
