Francis Suez light, 24 inch lens.Direct to me off the ship from the breakers .The Royal Fleet Auxiliary is a civilian-manned fleet, owned by the MOD, RFA Sir Percivale L3036 know by ships company as "Percy" This was the first British ship to re-enter Stanley Harbour at the taking back of the Falklands. The ship also served in the Gulf War in 1991 and was present for the handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese. The light all though large is not as heavy as some of the similar lights because it is made of aluminium and can be moved around. Mounted on a industrial dolly see last image. Could be polished but I feel it would loose its history. Perfect twin mirrors (so you can see both banks of the canal at once or single search beam ) Totally original condition with real British Naval history. Single phase with twin 230 volts 2000 watt bulbs (still available), fitted heavy duty Clipsal domestic 13amp 3 pin plug with original cable and switch. Combined weight with industrial easy to move dolly 95 Kgs. £2500. The ship now dismantled at Liverpool.
