You tell me what this is and yes, it is really real. Would look good on your exhibition layout.  ;D

The good old Belisha Beacon, gee I wish we had them at pedestrian crossings in Australia, you take your life in your own hands crossing the road over here, there would be no excuse for not seeing the crossing.

You mean you still cross like Mr.A in 1948 before the Belisha beacons?  ;D

Ye Gods - if I had to shin up that to light the wick, I think I'd sway in the wind!
