Re: luftwaffe runway amd approach lights
See for information about runways and lighting systems in the Luftwaffe, Bundesarchiv RL 23/98.
A night picture of the Deelen lighting system, see appendix picture 1.
The second and third picture show parts of the lighting system of Deelen as can be seen in the Deelen museum.
The second picture is a lightcover from the runway lighting.
In the right undercorner of the picture you can see a ceramic stone with a reflective layer.
It's located in the centre of the taxi-track. The function of the third light is not 100% clear but most probably a boundary light.
You can see them in the field around the three runways.
In "Vliegvelden in oorlogstijd" page 89 you can see an Underground report about Deelen's llighting system from March 8th, 1944.
