    Help With Project

    If this achieves its aim I will be absolutely delighted but rather randomly I am looking to get the following item recreated I doubt I will ever find an original one as they will probably all be destroyed now if anybody knows where I can find one that would be amazing however what I actually want is this thing making to look like the original. It doesn’t have to be a perfect replica it just has to have the basic elements of red and green light and the jump and caution words in something that looks retro et cetera.
    So if randomly you can make something like this or you know where I can get something like this then please let me know

    I’d speak to Carl at Gasgasbones. If he can’t do it, I’d be surprised if he can’t suggest someone.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Airborne Jump Light if my googling skills are right. Is it the sort of item that turned up at Aviation memorabilia type sales Kerry? Cant see any sales history on the bay.

    You can get black aluminium project boxes off the shelf and then it’s a case of drilling for the lamps and getting it engraved and then fill with enamel

    Boxes

    This lamp is a good match but only a single red
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-C...4AAOSwq7hfpuwx

    These are not as nice but available from the states in red and green, though a bit of digging around might furnish something from the uk

    Do you want it wired to illuminate?

    Have you tried a decent army surplus place? They are a popular item though and a lot went missing quickly when the K died from what I remember.

    Can it be a more modern version?

    Hurcs being retired.

    With the C130 being chinned off recently chances are they may start appearing. A few moons ago a friend had a para door step as a garden seat. O the memories.
