Hi
Landing lights on in the daytime - Standard operating procedure on British military aircraft since the sixties. I wasn't around during WWII, but it was probably the same SOP.
If you are groundcrew, working on the airfield, traffic controller, aircraft on the taxiway or in circuit it's quite difficult to spot an aircraft on finals low against the horizon. But if that a/c turns on it's landing lights it's much easier to spot.
