RAF signal lamp (No 69 pg1 Light)

Here we have a nice example of an RAF signal lamp used by Bombers in formation to maintain radio silence on bombing missions, they could signal to each other using Morse code. I have tested in on 12 volts and it works perfectly as it should.

 Of coarse this was designed to use 24 volts as Bombers used this voltage rather than the 12 volts used in fighters.

The sighting ring at the top allows the crew member to target the aircraft he is trying to signal.

 Fighters used a similar system but not having the room or free hands this was done using a fixed light on the top of the fuselage, you can see this type of light listed further down on this page.

Lighting Control Panel (No 60 pg1 Light)

Fitted to the Fairy Firefly and probably other FAA aircraft.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

   

External lights control panel. It is for control and mode selection of Navigation, Formation and Recognition Lights.  If you read the legends on the various controls I am sure you will see the logic of this.

 The references to Morse are actually for light-signaled Morse not for radio. 

When flying a mission in formation with other aircraft, signaling by light amongst the formation would assist in maintaining radio silence.  

 

Dim/Med/Bright,  Off/Morse/Steady,   Green/Red/Amber  all refer to lamp statLamp Instrument 5CX/7904 (pg1 light)  
Navigation/Formation/Identification are each a functional lamp or group of lamps on the exterior of the aircraft.

Reproduction Spitfire Tail Light Lens (No 50 pg1 Light)

We have now reproduced this super rare part. It is exactly the same as the original dimensionally.

The hard part was the internal thread I managed to get a tool made to replicate the exact thread as the original and so this will screw on to the original Spitfire tail light fitting.

Click on pictures to enlarge

 

Above left is the cutting tool I had made fitted to the original to prove the thread is correct. The picture to the right shows the light diffusing effect of our reproduction.

The lens is frosted as apposed to the clear original but light will still shine through and it has the effect of diffusing the light so most likely will be more visible than original. Its made of a very tough plastic and will not crack or break easily.
