John, a friend here in the UK has been shunted twice in his Spitfire and has
come up with a neat
solution, though I'm not totally sure it's fully legal. It definitely works! As
we often drive
top-up in the UK, Peter has rigged a fog lamp on a hinged bracket just inside
the rear window. The
lens has been painted red and the bulb is a 100 watt halogen for off-road use.
The whole is tilted
slightly upwards to ensure widespread spread at windscreen level about 60 feet
behind the Spit. It's
not too unlike looking at a (red) aircraft landing light at very close
quarters! Idea?
