Further my last I've just come across this image of the Norwegian Flt Lt Erik Haabjoern (standing) with the 56 Squadron Score Board. This photograph was taken by Charles Brown 21st April 1943 at RAF Matlaske (Norfolk) the Squadron's base from August 1942 until July 1943. On July 30th 1942 Haabjoern , accompanied by 'Cocky' Dundas, was returning to base from escort duties with a failing engine when he was bounced by a Spitfire and shot down over The Channel. He baled out and was picked up.
