Capt. Per Olivarius Bugge and rad/nav Claus Møllerop Bjørn served from August -43 until February -44 (Bugge) and May -45 (Bjørn). Bugge changed his name to Peter Bugge, and as such continued post-war as a test pilot with De Havilland, Later Hawker Siddeley.

Captain Svein Heglund served from September -44 until May -45. His rad/nav was F/O Symon. Heglund became Norway's top-scoring pilot with several kills while serving with 85 Sqn.

Olav Djønne joined the Squadron in April -45 but did not become operational before the war ended inMay. He is not mentioned in the ORB, and his log book has disappeared so I have very little info on this pilot.
