luftwaffe runway amd approach lights
 

Does anyone know details on these; specifically for NJG Fliegerhorsts?

Re: luftwaffe runway amd approach lights
 

Obstruction and perimeter lighting, permanent runway lighting, beam approach system and a visual Lorenz system.

All of the above on the permanent airdromes in the Reich, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and France that hosted NJG units.

Thanks for that. Any more details/specifications/colours? Also what about runway end and beginning lights? I am specifically interested in Deelen and Venlo at the moment, but basically all NJG bases.

There are some Deelen and Venlo specialists among the members here and I am sure one or more of them has more details for you.

The lights at Grove, which was a night fighter airfield.

Thanks for that SES. Is that on gyges? I can't make out the lettering on the approach paths; do you know what it is? Was Lorenz type approach on that field?

I have some information on Venlo lighting in http://fliegerhorstvenlo.webklik.nl/page/documentatie

so I am imagining Deelen would be somewhat similar?

Hi,
As a matter of fact it is partly, please see:

And sorry I do not know the manufacturer of the various pieces of equipment.
