Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Post 3444 Photo no.3. There was a very interesting article on this action in the May 1962 "Flying Review" by Finn Arnesen; this is April 9 1940 after the German invasion of Norway. There were 9 Gladiators (2-blade wood props) at Fornebu near Oslo, 2 were unserviceable and the other 7 were in action. 429 was flown by the Deputy Leader Lt. Rolf Tradin; only 1 survived the day (no. 421 Lt. Krohn)) and it was wrecked on the 21st. 429 went through the ice landing on Lake Mjosa and was recovered by the Germans. The red-white-blue rudder is on the right.
Tradin was killed in 1943 in a Norwegian Spitfire squadron. Nick
