These photos may help you figure out how the bulb is retained in the lamp.

If it's a Mark 1 lamp

The wire clip is easy to displace from the holes in its mounting lugs (seen at top of image). If this happens they are a devil to refit unless you know exactly how they fit. This photo will help. Study the way the wire clip is hinged and fastened.

If it's a Mark 2 lamp

These use a simple bayonet system. Much easier, but you need a mirror to see inside.
