Aeronautical Charts "FI" identification beacons

Hi all,

What does "FI" stand for?





I used to volunteer at Cranfield on the Lightnings there, I recall a green flashing lamp on the roof of a building flashing away Morse code at night; is this the identification beacon referred to here?

This lamp was like an upturned bin, of a translucent green material, with a bright lamp inside. I imagine there may be a few types out there.

I found this online which may be related to the FI notation: https://ppltutor.com/air-law/signals...ation_beacons/ but any advice on this is welcomed!

Cheers, Scott.
