Guns & Searchlights & Radar
Thank You Tony. Never saw such a Searchlight before.
Here is an interesting piece. The gun carriage is MK I. The gun could also be an updated MK I (1937 type).
Anyhow the 1944 type "Stiffkey-Stick" sights and the shields have been added later.
To the left a S.C.R. 584 Automatic Gunlaying Radar - one of the 165 supplied to GB from USA in 1944 to counter the German V-missiles attack.
During June - September 1944 the AA was able to shoot down approx 1.550 V-missiles = 65%. The record was 68 shot down on one single day.
