Firstly, a big g'day to Bob and Ian - thanks for the welcome. We usually have electricity in our area - the fruit bats are the main cause of darkness......they land on the insulators, cause an explosion, cooked bat, and darkness in the bush.
MLU is a great resource and it is even better when you are learning info that you had no idea you even wanted to know. I would never had guessed there were at least three different types of interior lights for WW11 British AFVs.
Richard - thanks for the image of the Vickers Light Tank dashboard. Is this type of light difficult to obtain in the UK? You mention that they were used on Bentleys and other cars. They sound as though they were reasonably commonly used in their day. Another query with the dash, is that two speedos in the right lower corner or is one a tacho (and they both just happen to go to 40)?
Neil - thanks for the image of the parts manual page. It all adds to the bank of information on these lights.
