800 Naval Air Squadron over Narvik 1940
I know we have previously bemoaned the absence of available records for Fleet Air Arm squadrons. I am now trying to research No. 800 Squadron during the Narvik episode in 1940. Does anyone happen to know the whereabouts of the 800 Squadron records for March and April 1940? The National Archive website says the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovil holds the Squadron records, but the FAA Museum says they do not have the records for this period and to try the National Archives! There seems to be very limited detailed information anywhere. Any bright ideas welcome!
