Spitfire landing light (No 67 pg1 Light)

Here is a Spitfire landing light, this is incredibly rare I cannot even find pictures of this unit on the internet and the first one I have seen or owned in over 20 years of collecting and selling.

It appears complete and is in good original condition. If you enlarge the drawing far right under you can see that the lamp matches the shape of the one shown in the drawing.

 From what I understand these were only used in the very early Spitfires as it soon became obvious the Spitfire was near to useless as a night fighter as the glow from the exhaust all but blinded the Pilot , it was fitted to some MK Vs but was deleted.

 The main reason is that there was better use of the space required to house the retractable lights inside the wings. It is important to understand that the wing type of the Spitfire is as important to characterize it as the Mk. number. In short, there were 4 different wing types, labelled from A to D.

Losing the landing light can be answered by just looking at the design of the wing. In early Mk. Spitfires, the A type wing was mostly used, the one housing 4 machine guns per wing.

Even though there is a space provision for the landing light just behind the inner ammo box housings.
In the Spit Mk. Vb  the B type wing was used, where the inner two machine guns are replaced with a housing for the Hispano cannon and its 60 round ammo drum.

 There is still space for it in for of the magazine bay. There, the landing light was installed in B wing Spitfire Mk.V. The switches to operate the landing lights were on the lower left side on the panel.
With the instalment of different wing types, the housing for the landing light was omitted. You can see those on the C type wing as installed in the Mk.VIII.

The magazine bay was changed such that it could accommodate the 120 rounds of the belt fed Hispano MK.II cannon. Or two ammo boxes for dual cannon installation, such as in some Mk.V's.

The type nobody wanted and consequently got shipped away to places like Malta. Spitfires ferried such as the tropical Mk.V type to Malta aboard the carrier Eagle on June 9th, 1942.The fuel tank was only fitted in the MK.VIII, but not in Mk.V or Mk.IX. Thus, no space, no landing lights.

That Pilots were not impressed with the after dark qualities of the Spitfire can be seen on the D type wing.

Recon Spitfires, featuring a large tank in the front part of the wing, with all armament removed may in some cases had landing lights fitted as they often flew in the dark.

In summary the general rule the Mk Vb had landing lights. Other Spitfires types had to have the (early) A or B wing type installed to have this feature.

This an Air ministry made part not made by Supermarrine so most likely it was fitted to other RAF aircraft although it differs considerably from the other standard ones i have seen.
