Re: April 13th 1940 Norway

I doubt there were any bomber missions to Norway on the 13th.
There is nothing in Fledgling Eagles to support that.
Since the 12th was such a disaster Bomber Command most likely stayed at home licking its wounds.
Also something must be wrong with your listed times. A take off at 11.50H with a loss at 00.04H (which
is in the middle of the night) suggests the Wellington has been in the air for more than 12 hours and
I cannot understand why such a long time should be necessary for a mission to Norway and back.
A trip to Stavanger and back would be around 5-6 hours max (no I have not made a careful calculation)
The matter can be easily solved if you give us the serial number of the Wellington in question.
