Saturday saw a large contingent of Garrison members turn up to the National Army Museum in London to put on a series of anti-aircraft displays. This was the first public outing for the 3.7" AA gun, and despite a few minor teething issues, everything went remarkably smoothly. The last display of the day, in the darkness with the gun working in conjunction with the searchlight, was particularly spectacular. Also quite evocative, as this was quite possibly the first time a 150cm carbon-arc searchlight had lit up the skies over central London since 1945...
Photos and a report will be added to the Garrison website in the near future.
