The picture to the left of this text shows the Pundit light itself in it’s stowed position on the back of the trailer. When in use, this was mounted on the top of the trailer.Pundit lights were not always located on airfields. Sometimes they were located at a distance from the airfield - for example, ten miles due south. Pilots would locate the beacon and then fly ten miles north to find the airfield. They were also known as aerial light houses. Many thanks to Red Sea Water World and Ted Angus for the photographs which were so much better than mine. |
