Beach Landing Light

[motto]

Thanks for the responses, I was beginning to doubt myself.
The light you describe Mike sounds a lot like what I have. I will have a closer look when I have time.

The light belonged to Trans Australia Airlines originally and that company used a fair bit of surplus WW2 military equipment over the years which was still in use when I started with them in 1966. C47's were still in daily service and their P&W 1830 engines and Hamilton Standard propellors were a common item around the place. A couple of the ground support rigs were powered by the magnificent Cadillac V8 side valves. This is part of the reason I suspected the light may have had a military origin.
