I'd be interested to know what sort of noise the 'growler' put out with the air intake blocked off by the lamp?

These neat little units had the very compact and highly efficient Coventry Climax 500 gpm pump, as illustrated here.

It also found its way on to the front bumpers of a lot of Land Rovers - a very space effective installation on another light 4X4 truck which did not have a lot of space to spare for the rest of its equipment and crew!
