Not something you see very often! The 1980s Royal Navy Historic Flight had a pith helmet (or shola topee) fitted with a rotating red beacon that was sometimes 'used' by one of the crew of Fairey Swordfish LS326 during taxiing.
It's seen here at the Shuttleworth Collection's Old Warden airfield.
I do hope it made it into the RNHF's regimental curios collection.
