Here you see a Butlers Air Ministry Possilby a Approach Light, I have No Idea on this light or where it was used However I have heard of Butlers Lighting who specialised in Automotive Lights in the 1930's to 1960's, but never knew they made lights for Airfiled/Airport Applications
I have had to heat the Optic Retaining screw as it had siezed, Lamp details to follow when I can open the Light, this light used a X95-4520, 12 volt 36 watt Military Airfield Lamp with a P36d (British Prefocus) Cap simmilar to the Vintage BPF Headlight Bulbs.
on the Light it has
A.M.D.G.W. = Air Ministry Directorate General of Works.
TYPE LE/38/5 = Light Elevated 38/5
Air Ministry Ref No = 5A/4535
Butlers Ltd
The AM/4538 number is the Reference number for the Lamp Optic unit
