A potted history of 46 Sqn's Norwegian "adventure" can be found
here It misses out little bit's like landing attempts on coconut matting! but the basic's are there.
Most of the ground crew were evacuated by Norwegian trawler boats at great risk to the Norwegians themselves.
To go back on topic I remember the "double extension" nose legs but never saw one extended.
Thought it was a mad idea in 85 and still do now tbh.
