If it was N5378 then it was present as No.25 Group Communication Squadron.

This was an Armament Group prior to 27th May 1940 and would have been used to provide a reliable, secure means for the dispersed sites to keep in contact.

Only a few weeks later Ansons accounted for 6 Bf 109s over the Dunkirk perimeter, One Anson gave a good report when set about by 9 Bf 109s, the gunner being credited with a kill at the same time as the pilot brought down another using the single fixed browning.

S/L Michael Harington Dwyer (to become AVM M H Dwyer CB, CBE) was an prewar officer who had completed specialist armament courses.

Desperately trying to keep out of the way of any Messerschmitts would be my guess.
