Light House busting in Norway, operation Chuck...

This is a long shot:

In the spring of '45 the order for the Strike Wings was to shoot up Norwegian lighthouses at oportunity and as dedicated missions, and in combination with mock mine-drops in the channels this was called operation Chuck.

I thought I had read somewhere that during one strike a Beaufighter or Mosquito almost crashed into the lighthouse, or possibly actually hit it but managed to get home.

Product of my imagination or actual report? Does this ring a bell to anyone?
