Because 612 Sqn were based there betwen 15th Dec 1941 and 23 Sept 1942. During which they lost at least 3 aircraft in forcelandings etc:
Z6652, Z6735 and also Z6966 which overshot at Stapi airfield.
Also 58 Sqn lost one in Iceland as well (BD567), it forcelanded after combat with Norwegian N-3PB on 26 Oct 1942.. Is this the only combat 'victory' for this aircraft??
Oh.. I got a copy of the Whitley File, as you can see!
