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?
