<i>RAF Bristol Beaufighters from the Dallachy Wing attacking enemy vessels sheltering beneath the 3,000ft cliffs of Sognefjord in Norway, 23 April 1945.</i><br>
Picturesque Norwegian fjords hitherto untouched by the war became a battleground as the strike wings sought out enemy vessels lurking in them during the last months of hostilities. Three beaufighters from the Dallachy Wing are seen here attacking enemy vessels sheltering beneath the 3,000ft cliffs of Sognefjord on 23 April 1945. The freighter D/S Ingerseks was sunk and a couple of flak ships strafed with cannon fire.
