The British were pulling out of Norway (starting on May 24th) when the Glorious was sunk (8th June) - so why bother mining Swedish ports when they could use Narvik? She was only carrying 9 Gladiators and six Swordfish on her way back to Norway on 2nd June as space had to be left for the aircraft being recovered - that's not a strike force of any size.

has anyone got a map of her track to & from Norway?
