Here are my references on lighthouses.

http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/engs.htm

This gives a list of all the lights on the south coast.
If you scroll back on this site you will find a link to a similar list of the North Sea Coast.
I dont know how far you need to go in each direction.

Trinity House have a gallery of pictures here http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/interacti ... index.html

I would suggest that you definitely do Beachy Head Light --- everyone knows it. (slight exageration) but its a good landmark in the centre of the battle area.

The Needles Light on Isle of Wight is also a good scenic site.
Dungeness is also very prominent.

This is another lighthouse guide sorted by county which may be useful

Just a text list it description no photos

I notice looking at the lighthouses that many of the photos have helicopter pads on the top.
These are of course post war features.

Lightships

Photos of typical british light vessels on this page.

I think there were 3 on the Goodwin Sands - east of Kent
Also a number in the Thames at the Medway.

They are very noticeable because of the colour so may be desirable to include as visual navigation aid.

This is a location map for the Goodwin Sands Lightships

I also have a number of references for Solent Forts which mounted AA guns in WWII if you want them. There were also sea forts in the Thames but I think they were built after BoB.
