Hi,

I came across some useful information regarding the 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron.

Quote:
In accordance with Recce policy the fire power of the jeeps was substantially upgraded. Every jeep had a Vickers "K" 303 machine gun mounted with a round magazine holding 96 rounds. In addition they had 2 20mm polsten cannons carried behind the jeep. The Polsten cannons were an Anti Aircraft gun but due to its high firing rate was a very effective ground weapon. They also carried standard infantry weapons including two 3" mortars and 2" mortars, a Bren Light machine gun, standard rifles but with sniper sights, a PIAT (ant tank) gun and many and various hand grenades. Most men had a sten gun and the Radio Operators a revolver.

I guess all these weapons were carried in several vehicles, otherwise the Jeep would have been a truck! Laughing

The jeeps had trailers and the Polsten cannons were mounted on wheeled gun carriages.
