Related existing record: 22 October 1942 Part 8 — 22 October 1942 Additional radar account of the Guernsey firing. This separate source account concerns material already represented in that record; it does not by itself establish an additional incident.

On 21 October at about 22.30 hours, three detected targets, presumably enemy destroyers, approached Guernsey. A total of fifty-four rounds were fired using the detected positions, whereupon the targets turned away.
