Bardufoss came under Allied control shortly after 9. May 1945 and aircraft were flown from other airfields to Bardufoss and vice-versa.
The Werk Nummern are given as reported by Leitende Ingenieur beim Oberquatiermeisert/Gen.d.dt.Lw. in Norwegen (Abwicklungsstab).
Many aircraft were not destroyed by RAF on site but was given further life in RAF and RNoAF service.
