Chance Light and Airfield Beacons also presumably by Chance. The Chance Lights mounted on trailer, as at East Kirkby, or on the back of a truck and mobile to illuminate runways and work in the field after dark.

An interesting picture of a Chance light and an airfield beacon. I understood that airfield beacons could be different colours and flashed a morse coded letter(s) which would be the pundit code for military airfields, hence the name Pundit Beacon.

The Hatfield beacon has been fully restored and is now displayed outside in a public area!
