53 years to the day that the Queen opened the original Forth road bridge, she opened the its replacement - the Queensferry Crossing.
News buletins today showed vintage coverage from 1964, however if the full British Pathé film is viewed on YouTube there are some brillant lighting images.
This still taken from the south side of the bridge shows low pressure sodium, probably SLI on steel columns.

Closer to the toll booths, mercury lighting seems to be used, possibly GEC "turtles" with polished aluminium canopies - seen end on.

The approach on the southern side also utilises floodlights, with possibly Alpha 1s (or more turtles) on the slip road.

200W SLI lighting seems to have been used on the bridge itself.

On the north side, at the original Queensferry car ferry berth, a super shot of twin bracket Stanton 7 columns with probably Phosco P120/122 lanterns.
