    Here is the second of my two "new old stock" (NOS) Tilley FL6s dated 1960. The light is dated 3/1960.

    This light is the same as the previously posted NOS FL6 posted here , except this one has a later version of the control cock.

    The two FL6s were once in the inventory of the Launceston Airport in Northern Tasmania, Australia.

    Hi Tony,

    These are in great shape they are perfect !

    I have an address to buy on an old 50s military stock they are black color in NOS condition.

    It would be great to see the fox walking at night in the garden of my property :-k

    Regards,
    Titoo
