| 释义 |
HistoryDuring World War II, Portland's naval base was a primary target for German air raids,[2] prompting a number of heavy anti-aircraft batteries to be built within the region, one of which was located close to the Verne Citadel.[3] Locally designated as "Battery B",[4] other nearby batteries included examples at Blackhead near Weymouth, Barrow Hill near Southwell, and Chickerell, Weymouth.[5][6][7] The Verne battery's operated using QF 3.7-inch AA guns.[4] Manned by personnel of AA Command, the battery's associated Gun Operations Room was based at Red Barracks, Weymouth, and from 1941 at Nottington House, Weymouth. The battery was later fitted with GL Mark II radar from 1942.[3] After the war, the battery survived and was put into use as stables.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1459502 |title=Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery (P3 Verne), 275m south-west of Fancy's Farm, Portland - 1459502 |publisher=Historic England |date= |accessdate=2019-03-28}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.geoffkirby.co.uk/PortlandArchivePictures/html/world_war_2.html |title=World War 2 |publisher=Geoffkirby.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2018-01-14}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Pomeroy|first=Colin A.|title= Military Dorset Today: Second World War Scenes and Settings That Can Still Be Seen 50 Years on|year=1995|publisher=Silver Link Publishing Ltd|isbn=978-1857940770|page=71}} 4. ^1 {{PastScape|mnumber=1413298|mname=Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery Portland B|accessdate=18 September 2014}} 5. ^{{PastScape|mnumber=1413309|mname=|accessdate=3 October 2015}} 6. ^{{PastScape|mnumber=1413228|mname=Heavy Anti Aircraft Battery Portland D|accessdate=18 September 2014}} 7. ^{{PastScape|mnumber=1473260|mname=HEAVY ANTI AIRCRAFT BATTERY PORTLAND 5|accessdate=26 June 2014}} Gallery 5 : Isle of Portland|Forts in Dorset|Coastal artillery|Jurassic Coast|Batteries |
