[Mg-t] [Mg-mmm] Accessory "trouble light"

[Clive Sherriff]

Don,

>>>5c/309  (Picture of a crown) with A.M.
       under crown. <<<

This indicates that this was a (probably) world
War II UK Royal Air Force Air Ministry (A.M.)
item, hence too the crown signifying government
property.

5c/xxx is typical for many small aircraft electrical
parts such as switches.
