Guess what I have found on a little side street in Bristol? A 55W Gamma 6 with a china hat!

I must say that with the image quality depreciation of having to use streetview zoom, the lantern looks a bit like one of these Chinese lights you get in the Chinatowns of Liverpool and Manchester!
It does look a little unusual anyway.

There are one or two of these 55W China hat ones in Bristol, but most of the big sixes are of the standard canopy variety. When I visited there last, we drove past one but I was unable to get a photo of it as my dad wouldn't stop the car.

I also noticed when I was there that one of the easier to spot examples that I had seen in a photo (near a bridge) had been taken down, column and all.

That's what I was thinking. Due to bush clearance, I spotted this as though I'd never seen it before even though I've been past it lots of times. It's located at the end of a cul de sac off Fulford Road in York.

Where I've seen it installed, the Thorn Jet offers very poor lighting distribution. To my eyes anyway... They also look horrendous when adapted to fit post top.

I'd second that. Are there any notable areas where Jets are installed en masse?

Well there is York, which is currently installing them en masse or did. Chris will correct me on this if I am wrong.
