Hello, another Type 42 specific question regarding the hangar lights.
At the sides of the hangar are two small platforms that have 3 lights each. Presumably these are floodlights? If they are, are these just white lights and not coloured?
Also, over the top of the hangar on a gantry are a number of small lights. Are these to help the heli pilot determine the centre line for take off and landing? Are these lights white or some other colour?

This is a picture of York.

Anyone able to answer these two questions? What colour are the over hangar roof lights and are the wing mounted lights white?

TIA.

Not sure if this will help as I do not think it is uk ship specific, I generally don't know anyway, but found this

All lights are white, the two groups of three are flood lights to illuminate the flight deck for night operations. The lights above the hangar are an artificial horizon with a small cluster in the centre to mark the centre line for landing.

Hope this helps.
