@MilHistNow More V1s were shot down by Royal Artillery guns than by aircraft. Most of the Guns were able to be radar controlled. Ubique Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt

@thinkdefence HQ 1(BR) had duplicate HQs which meant command and the HQ routinely relocated every 24hrs. The duplicate was also staffed and available to assume command if the primary was attacked and could not operate. It also had an armoured Tac HQ available.
