Re: Clandestine fligths UK-Norway
Hi,
My understanding is that all the Northrop N3PB's were transported directly to Iceland from US and solely used in that theater by 330 sqn until early 43.
The remaining planes were brougth to UK /Oban spring of 43 and was occasionaly used in non-offensive roles.
But the idea you launched has struck me and I did some checking which ended with the above story. But if somebody knows something different from this it would be great to know.
The 3 cunning foxes (Norw. He 115's) I have also ruled out. It appears that their full story has been uncovered. At least the logbooks of Skavhaugen and Offerdal doesn't show any trips to Norway, but on the other hand there were other (foreign) crews flying them I understand.
It is still a puzzle what sort of military bases there were in Inverness/vicinity as to accomodate seaplanes. So if anyone has input on this i would appreciate that
