Does anybody know what these lights are called and what their purpose is? Google is no use.

Thanks.

It will be in the ‘FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF AIRMANSHIP’ powerpoint.

Would these not be the last set of approach lights before the threshold lights?

If i’m right its a ‘T’ shaped light to mark the centre line of the runway on approach.

CAP 637 - Visual Aids Handbook

Is your friend - Specifically, Chapter 1 Pages 2-4 - (Section 7 specifies why occasionally the Approach Lights may have sections of red as opposed to plain white light)

Edit to add: (Source Heathrow Twr ATCO)- As per the above CAP, at civil aerodromes they’re not red/white/red as per the OP picture. It may be a Military specific layout
