Martin Phillips' Spitfire RR232 in the Norwegian colours of W/C Rolf Arne Berg. He commanded 132. (N) Wing and was killed in action on 3rd February 1945, while attacking Eelde airfield in the Netherlands. His legendary scheme flew across Norway this summer, in honour and in memory of every Norwegian pilot and crew during the war. Of which most pilots gave the ultimate sacrifice in their selfless fight for freedom.

A long and determined fight to bring back their own sovereignty and democracy: a poor country with few people, but with a dying wish to remain free. Their losses were heavy and tragic, 82% of all Norwegian fighter pilots never came home. Today this is largely forgotten. We ought to remember them.
