Where did you get that information from jim? I don't think I can find any references to it in the film,but it does look bloody good mind you. |
I've read it a couple of times over the years when reading myreference books.....and no, I can't remember precisely which ones....and seeing I've over a hundred don't ask me to refer back to them all
Here is a link from a book which briefly explains they were emergency lights:
