THE BLACK FRIDAY MUSEUM
On February 9. 1945, a force of Allied Bristol Beaufighter aircraft suffered many losses, during an attack on the German destroyer Z33 and its escorting vessels; the operation was called “’Black Friday’” by the Allied survivors.
The Beaufighters and their escort of Mustang Mk III fighters from 65 Squadron RAF, were intercepted by sixteen Focke-Wulf Fw 190s. It became the biggest air battle over Norway during WWII.
The museum exhibition is put together with photos, film, interviews and possessions from aircrafts, ship and people, overlooking the site where it happened.
