The south searchlight position, taken from on top of the generator bunker. Note that the construction of the south searchlight emplacement is different to that of the north, which may have been due to it being 'steered' remotely from the BOP. The curved iron roof beam is more recessed, and I'm pretty sure there would have been a concrete roof over it, but it looks like it has been removed.
The concrete base - as described in one of the later pictures - had a brick-built look-out (Observation Post) shelter on it. It is just visible behind the searchlight emplacement.
