5A/760 Aldis Lamp

Gooday

I am chasing information and photos and if possible an actual 5A/760 addis lamp as installed in a Percival Proctor Mk1. As some of you may be aware I am rebuilding a Proctor back to flying condition. It is my intention to have it as close as practical to its military configuration.

Maybe some of you might also know what model HF radio receiver/transmitter were fitted.It is not my intention to fit these because of weight and space considerations

thanks

Thanks to those of you who have replied, I have sent an email to Mark and a PM to Fleet16b

Thanks to smirky for the photo. Starting to understand, I am still looking for a photo of a Proctor with one in place (inside the rear cockpit starboard side next to the Radio Operator foot rests.

thanks

Corrected the title. It should be Aldis Lamp.

Ross,

Aussie Disposals had these in perfect condition for many years, with @30 in their wharehouse, might be worth contacting them to see if any are in stock
