157th HAA Battery Diary entry 28 April 1940

Preparation for movement of one AA gun from Auberive where 218 Squadron RAF were based.  218 Squadron was equipped with Fairey Battles. 157th HAA Battery was equipped with outdated 3 inch guns, which were not as effective as the more modern 3.7 inch guns.

The diary entry reads:

28/4/40 Seven guns ready for action.  One from PIP I on wheels ready for removal to PIP III.
Preparation for inspection by Brigade Commander, Brigadier Crewsdon.
