Yes, yes, yes,
- But why were they called 'pundits'?
Saw the Heathrow installation in '68. Allegedly visible from 30,000 over the English Channel.
EGNX had an aerodrome light beacon, flashing green ('Charlie Alpha'), between the original tower and the grass strip, (01/19).- about where the current ATC facility is sited.
EGCC had a green beacon in the '90s, which superseded an ABn on the hangars north-east of the tower.
EGBB had a green and white ABn, in the early 1970's.
