A searchlight, in the Hull area, during World War Two.
The German Luftwaffe were a menacing presence in the skies across Britain in World War Two. The Blitz lasted from September 1939 to May 1941.
Picture shows a searchlight scanning the skies for enemy aircraft.
A searchlight (or spotlight) is an apparatus that combines an extremely bright source (traditionally a carbon arc lamp) with a mirrored parabolic reflector to project a powerful beam of light of approximately parallel rays in a particular direction, usually constructed so that it can be swiveled about.
