Gladiator pilot Per Waaler once again took to the skies again today to mark the 70th anniversary of the German invasion of Norway.
Waaler was stationed at Fornebu/Oslo april 9th 1940 flying Gladiators and claimed one He111 that morning.
With him today was also 332sqd sqd leader Wilhelm Mohr.
Both took to the air as passengers in Tiger Moth LN-MAX and LN-KFT flying in formation over Kjeller, the place where both of them learned to fly in the 1930’s.
Local newspaper Romerikes Blad got some video online. Interview with Per Waaler (for those of you that understand norwegian): http://www.rb.no/lokale_nyheter/article5062127.ece
