Re: Blackburn Skua question

I do not think that drop tanks were even available to the FAA in April 1940

I understand that the attack was from RNAS Hatston in Orkney which would have been within the range of a Skua which could fly for about 780 miles and a round trip to Bergen is a lot less than that from Orkney.
