§ 56. Mr. Perkinsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that an obstruction light has been intalled on a mast approximately 70 feet high, marking a group of trees on the southwest comer of Croydon airport; whether he will state the distance between this light and the trees; whether the light is a flashing beacon; and how high is the top of this mast above the trees?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadI am uncertain to which light my hon. Friend refers since there are two obstruction lights which answer the description in the question. They are both double filament, fixed, red obstruction lights placed at the top of masts in the midst of trees. They extend about three feet above the tops of the trees. One is in the grounds of the house called West Dean and the other in the recreation ground known as Round Shaw.
