Needles Lighthouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Isle of Wight Festival is a British music festival which takes place annually in Newport on the Isle of Wight, England. It was originally a counterculture event held from 1968 to 1970.
The 1970 event was by far the largest of these early festivals and the unexpectedly high attendance levels led, in 1971, to Parliament adding a section to the Isle of Wight County Council Act 1971 preventing overnight open-air gatherings of more than 5,000 people on the island without a special licence from the council. The event was revived in 2002.
The Needles Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse on the outermost of the chalk rocks at The Needles on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, near sea level. Designed by James Walker, for Trinity House at a cost of £20,000. It was completed in 1859 from granite blocks, stands 33.25 metres (109.1 ft) high and is a circular tower with straight sides. It replaced an earlier light tower on top of a cliff overhanging Scratchell's Bay, which was first lit on 29 September 1786.
From September the following year the Needles light was operational. It was described as 'a low truncated cone, situated on the highest point of the lofty cliffs, and near the edge of the cliff, forming the western extremity of the island;however, its height of 496 feet (151 m) above sea level meant it was often obscured by fog and sea mists, a problem that eventually led to its replacement some 70 years later. Illumination was provided by 13 Argand lamps with parabolic reflectors; The light initially shone white, but on 1 March 1840 it was altered to display a red light, so as not to be confused with the newly erected lighthouse on St Catherine's Point. Prior to its decommissioning, the light shone red to seaward but white from St Alban's Head to Hurst Point.
Present day
Today the main lamp is a 1500W bulb; the fixed optic with its coloured sectors remains in use as of 2019. Due to the condition of the chalk strata on which the lighthouse was built, in April 2010 a £500,000 underpinning project was announced, designed to stop the lighthouse falling into the sea. Over a 12-week period from early June, civil marine contractors Nuttall John Martin excavated a trench around the base of the lighthouse, to install a ring of stabilising posts, reinforced with concrete.

It's a very nice project with lots of details. The landing point with the Icao EGLT is next to the lighthouse, but that's the only mistake I could find.

Though it has no helipad, do you think you could perk up the Old Man of Hoy?

Fantastic addon! A vast improvement on what was there and another important VRP for Solent traffic added to the game. Thanks so much for taking the time to do not just the lighthouse but the various stacks and stumps that lead to it from the headland. 5 star, top quality work

Fantastic. This has been a blurry mess since last August with randomly generated three store buildings now and again hovering 50 ft in the air.
Finally we have the needles and light, beautifully modelled. Thank you Sir!
