Default Mixed Searchlight/AA Batteries List

I have searched Google, and also the forum hoping to find a list of those searchlight, and Anti-Aircraft Batteries were mixed, with little success. Is there such a list?

Thanks,

Terry

Terry,
Have a look at this site:
https://ra39-45.co.uk/units/heavy-an...raft-regiments

It shows 141 (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment (TA) through to 190 (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment (TA) with a few that are not Mixed.

Batteries are shown and locations with dates.

Tim

Default RA site

The site has only been back on line a few weeks after being out of action several years. Google is still finding its way round my site. You might want to look at the Battery Finder on the main menu. If you look in the "Sorted by Battery" it will give you a history of each battery.
