russell sprout Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi all, I found this trailer picture on the Internet and would be very grateful if anyone can put me in touch with the owner please. Does anyone recognise it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Trailer, 4 wheeled, 5 ton equipped as Aerial Lighthouse. I'm not aware of this one, but would also like the opportunity to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Bryan , no its a Mobile floodlight for illuminating runway, the Aerial lighthouse was similar but gave out a single letter morse signal and were sited on high ground features and on the coastline to aid returning aircraft, the 3rd type of light was the "Pundit" landmark beacon which gave out a 2 letter morse ID to identify individual airfields, in peacetime sited on the airfield - but in wartime each airfield had 3 off base sites around which the light was sited.
