Hoping someone can point me in the direction of some reference on British Searchlights.

I'm thinking I'd like to scratch one and need some general dimensions and such. I've found some photos on line and even a 3d paper model but nothing that gives dimensions. I've checked quite a few websites but nothing that has line drawings or dimensions shows up.

I'm looking for the 90cm tracked searchlight and/or the wheeled 150cm light. Any information on the generator trailers is a bonus as well.

Thanks

Here is a link to the 150cm search light that our group operate and there are also images of the generator that powers it. Both items are World War 2 vintage and I believe the only working version of this searchlight in Europe. We also have a 90cm one but it is in a very poor state of repair.
