Well speaking personally Harry we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to HMS BELFAST , and followed by a suitable amount of liberally applied
White Burgundy with another member of the Forum , can state that the trip to London was both educational and memorable . :D

Q.E. Leaving Rosyth the other day.
Harry:
Q.1. What is the piece of equipment below Flyco?
Q.2. What is at the bottom of the 'pole' supported from above with 2 additional supports almost level with the 'big movements screen' ?
Seem to remember you covered this previously - possibly the aft steaming light?

Answer to Q.1 second:-

As I remember it, I posted comparisons an answer along with attachments showing similar lights on the Invincible class; indicating the function to be traffic lights for flightdeck 'lane' movements ... but I am looking for the/any saved info that I used in my preparation for the earlier post. If I find it I will put it on here.

Note; It is my intention to place a series of posts about her navigation/tasking lights, the positioning of same, together with the purpose/function of said lights, etc. This should 'hopefully' be completed before the QE-R08 deploys for Westlant19 ... so methinks I best get to it pronto (preparation began during her protracted stay alongside at Invergordon :oops: ).

Although it sounds as a nice little earner - it's not my style David :) .... however I have found (via Google would u believe) the response I gave (complete with some images - thankfully because the hyper link broke that night) at the beginning of Oct 2018 in page 11 of RN Aircraft Carriers; Queen Elizabeth Class thread,
