Synopsis "Turbinlite"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Helmore/GEC Turbinlite was a 2,700 million candela (2.7 Gcd) searchlight fitted in the nose of a number of experimental radar equipped Douglas Havoc night fighters by the British during the early part of World War II and around the time of The Blitz. The light was intended to be used to illuminate attacking enemy bombers for defending fighters accompanying the Havoc to then shoot down.The then state-of-the-art metre-wavelength AI RDF (radar) equipment was bulky and, due to the operator workload, unsuited to carriage by single-engined fighters, and so required a twin-engine design. However, the early radar-equipped Bristol Blenheims lacked the necessary performance advantage over the German Heinkel 111s and Dornier Do 17 bombers then raiding the UK to be truly effective.
