Nice pic Antoni, confirms the A.V.Roe drawings I have somewhere. Incidentally, the idea that the lights were thought up by Guy Gibson isn't quite true. It is thought that he might have mentioned the use of lights, but the system was 'invented' and finalised by the RAE Farnborough. It is very possible that the notion of the lights being seen in a theatre could have been a cover, as with John Cunningham's night vision being attributed to carrots, and, of course, it made a good story line for the movie.
