I enjoy your videos and recently noticed on your sales e mail a Suez light. About 20 years ago I visited a company in Lancashire making brass nautical lamps, I think called LEIGH, don’t quote me , as the grey cells are not 100%, it was an interesting company. They I believe manufactured the LEIGH LIGHT for aircraft sub hunting during the war and also the Suez light. Remember the dam busters using 2 lights pointing downwards to determine height as radio altimeters were not too accurate over water, well the SUEZ light was mounted on the prow of the ship and alumina both banks so at night the ship could be kept in the centre of the canal. Hope this helps and keep up finding things.
