It’s a Chance airfield lighting tower and came from Birmingham Airport about 25 years ago (when the Museum was on it’s original site).
Originally it contained floodlights used to illuminate the landing area at night.
It used to be a great observation platform for members before that socking great hangar was built between it and the runway 🙁
At about the same time the Museum was due to get the large glass engraved entrance doors from the old terminal but they went to Cosford – wonder if they’re still there?
