Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Anti-aircraft gun emplacement N9 This was one of many anti-aircraft batteries built in order to protect the Clyde Basin, including factories engaged in war production, the city of Glasgow, and the town of Clydebank (over two nights, the 13th and 14th of March, 1941, Clydebank had been blitzed: it suffered the worst destruction and loss of civilian life in Scotland).
The gunsite shown here was designated N9, and, had it been used, it would have been manned by the 12th Anti-Aircraft Division; it was built in the period from September 1941 to the early spring of 1942. In such batteries, men operated the guns, while women operated the associated predictors, height-finders, and radar. However, this particular emplacement was never used, and guns and radar were never installed here. See also: 916370 and 1788683. |
