Canadian Beaufighter LZ452 (404 Sqdn RCAF/H, pilot F/O I. Gillespie, RCAF)
Canadian Beaufighter NE323 (404 Sqdn RCAF/F, pilot F/L R. Munro, RCAF)
At 11.30 hours, the boat was attacked by Beaufighters south of Egersund, while en route to Bergen escorted by the German minesweeper M-403. 4 Beaufighters of 144 Sqdn RAF carried torpedoes and 4 Beaufighters of 404 Sqdn RCAF acted as flak suppressors.
