Hi, the lights on the ITV mast at Caldbeck (CA7) are coming on very late. Tonight it was 10 minutes before dark (2045) when they came on and the transmitter mast was barely visible - the only bit showing was the white section near the top which could easily blend in with cloud. I see this as a hazard to aviation. Is this due to the engineering work being done this week or is it normally this late lighting up?
