263 Sqn Gladiators at Bodø, Norway in 1940

Hoping someone here can help me. I believe some 263 Sqn Gladiators were operating from Bodø during the Norwegian campaign in 1940.

Does anybody know which airframes these were? This is for a modelling project so I need serials, and individual aircraft codes.

Photos would obviously be fantastic.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi,
you might try this site which is the 263 Squadron home page and has lots of details on 263 Squadron including ORB's for both Norwegian expeditions
