PICTURES: Airport floodlight in 1937

(37770528)

ONE of the huge floodlights placed around the aerodrome for night flying at Jersey Airport in March 1937.

The light given off is approximately one and a quarter million candlepower.

Note the two small obstruction lights surmounting the structure. These are fitted to all parts of the aerodrome and also on the spire of St Peter’s Church.
