Re: 812 sqn Swordfishes in the Petsamo raid?
Hello!
Bruce. Apologies for the oversight and no reply. Thank you for the archival code. If only I ever could visit there. But I try to harass some colleagues of a colleague visiting there and then the piece number is golden.
Graham. Just the right stuff, thank you very much! Perhaps something can gleaned out of all this (and Britmodeller).
BTW According Finnish Navy HQ war diary (archival code spk 18708) the norwegian merchant ship sunk was named Rodvaer. The oil tanks were damaged and could not be used without reparations. Pier 2 was damaged from both ends ("F" and "H" from 812 sqn) and Veneniemi (seems to be Swedish Quay in the British map) pier was also damaged ("C" from 817 sqn).
Cheers,
Kari
