Sola 30th September 1943

A flight left Sola, Stavanger on 30th Sept 1943 just after 23:00 hrs carrying a spy.

At approx. 00:40 hrs, the "trapdoor" opened and the spy parachuted into Scotland.

I would be keen to know if anybody knows what type of aircraft this was?

Hi Junker

The National Archives and the record of a spy called Hansen who was dropped in Fraserburgh. There were several attempts but weather improved on 30th for the drop. The interogation mentions a trapdoor on the plane.
