thanks SLX - somewhere in the loft I have a copy of the Official History which has a map of the incident I'm sure.
I remember reading years ago that the reason the Hurricanes went to Glorious was that she'd carried them to Norway in the first place and her lifts were big enough to strike them below without too much trouble - whereas with the old Ark it meant cutting the wing tips off.
They also could have operated patrols as they had done so she made the delivery run at the start of the campaign.
DOH apparently had a well-known penchant for swanning off and operating on his own long before the Norwegian campaign.
Although it was a tragedy, not withstanding the outstanding bravery of the destroyers the German ships missed capturing King Haakon, who I think passed in front of them or the effectively unguarded troopships, which I think passed behind the Germans (it may have been vice versa) - arguably more important targets
