Re: Operation Sonnie: for Norwegian interest

Found an article in a Norwegian periodical, Norsk Flyhistorisk tidsskrift, mentioning that Balder (that is Sonnie to you, it was called Balder in Norway) Liberators flew 95 trips Leuchars-Isle of Man, transporting 1485 passengers, mostly Norwegian refugees headed for interrogation for weeding out suspected collaborators.

But as mentioned, even the Lodestars from Stockholmsruten flew there. But that Sonnie number seem a bit large, because I have seen sources where 1576 passengers were the total number of pax transported by Sonnie/Balder Leuchars-Bromma...
