ARCHERFIELD AIRFIELD HEAVY
ANTI-AIRCRAFT BATTERY
DURING WW2
Terry Sullivan, of 6 Battery HAA told me that the Battery at Archerfield had 3" guns. They were manned by members of 6 Battery HAA.
As part of their training 6 Battery HAA would drag the 3" guns up to Currumundi Beach on the Sunshine Coast and fire at drogues towed on long ropes behind aircraft that would fly over the area.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I'd like to thank Terry Sullivan of 6 Battery HAA for his assistance with this home page.
Can anyone help me with more information?
