Being a Norwegian I thought I’d say a few things on the display.

– The Mossie is a T.III built up to resemble a Fb.VI as when used at Banff 1945. The scheme is quite correct though the flag and stripe proportions are a little bit off.

– The Ju 88 is a KG30 A4 if I’m not much mistaken displayed as it was found on the high planes of Northeast Norway. There has also been a C-4 and a D-1 at the museum, but these planes have been sent to Hungary for two restauration projects.

– The Ju-52 is an ex-portuguese machine which was rebuilt throughout the nineties along with a second plane that was returned to Portugal when complete.

Not an oldie but nevertheless,

I was working as an Atco trainee in Tromsø Tower when a 41 Sqn Jag called up.
Jag: “Tromsø, Tromsø Kodak”
ATC: “Kodak, go ahead”
Jag: “Request to overfly the field at 1500 from South to North, qnh1024, Kodak”
ATC “Kodak Cleared to overfly. I don’t mind if you come lower.”
Jag: “Negative, photomission staying at 1500′ throughout”

We’re watching the Jaguar coming in towards the field high up when the Assistant says. “I was sure the flightplan said there were two in that flight”

WHAM!

There were two of them. One coming in at 1500, the other at 50, right past the tower. Don’t think you’ll find it in the tower- nor the squadron log though. :rolleyes:

This summer I was out on the runway overrun for a photoshoot when tower called me on the radio saying an F16 was coming in for an overflight. I got myself prepared and told tower to inform the fighter about me being close to the runway. He did inform the fighter, which in turn made him aim for me. Down to about 100 feet before pulling up. At this moment I realised I’d forgotten my ear plugs 😮 and just had to crouch down holding the camera while plugging my ears. I’m telling you, the nausea from the shockwave took several minutes to clear 😀 Luckily he didn’t go AB.
