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where 218 Squadron RAF were based. 218 Squadron was equipped with Fairey Battles. 157th HAA Battery was equipped with outdated 3 inch guns, which were not as effective as the more modern 3.7 inch guns.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.
