Thanks for replying. It is not necessary to know exactly how much longer the range would be with auxiliary tanks for the mentioned aircrafts but an approximation would be quite enough.

Many thanks to you all for your replies. When it comes to ski gear and grass. What if the runway was wet after raining or snowing. Wouldn’t that made a take off possible?

I know that RAF during the Norwegian Campaign in April 1940 used some frozen Norwegian lakes. I assume they must have used ski gear since I assume you cannot use wheels on snow, or is it possible?

Dear members, thank you so much for the replies. Much appreciated. Unfortunately I lost my login and could not access this forum for several months. But now it seems to be working again.

I know that Gardermoen had an airfield in the 1930s although only a small one from what I have heard. On Google Earth it is stated that Eggemoen was an airfield before WWII. But I don’t think that is accurate since from what I know Eggemoen was built by the Germans.

I read in a Norwegian book from 1938 that the Norwegian Air Force had some winter exercises in various places from the 1910s and up to WWII. Does anyone know what they did during these exercises?

Finally, does anyone have an e-mail address to Bjorn Hafsten?

Best wishes,
Sven-Eric
