I remember this being reported at the time and seeing the GPMGs being mounted on the rails of the ships.........it seemed surreal Britain had been preparing to fight a futur war, on the plains of Germany in NBC kit and here were scenes that could have come straight out of a Second World War black and white pathe news reel, firing small arms at low flying aircraft, must have been terrifying watching the bombs coming down and not being able to do anything about it.
