26th - At 0700 the destroyers GRENADE, BEAGLE, FORTUNE, VOLUNTEER, ENCOUNTER and ESCORT joined the force from Narvik.
At 0725 the destroyers HYPERION, HEREWARD, HASTY, FEARLESS, FURY and JUNO detached and proceeded to Sullom Voe to refuel.
At 1000 the ARK ROYAL was in position 65-08N, 5-28E. At this time the weather cleared and there were clear blue skies and she launched six Skuas, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7F, 7G & 7H of 801 Sqd for a fighter patrol over Aandalnes

[REPORT of 801 Sqd
The squadron took off in perfect visibility and made a good landfall at Bud climbing to 10, 000 feet. The CURACOA was seen at Andalsnes and the squadron proceeded up the valley towards Gladiator Lake at 1120, two Gladiators were seen to take off. The swept runway was most conspicuous and numerous bomb craters were seen all over the lake.
Having circled the lake, the patrol was continued back towards Aandalsnes. Three He 111Ps of Kampfstaffel 5./II./KG 4, from Fornebu, were then seen approaching from the opposite direction and slightly below in line ahead formation.
The whole Squadron in turn attacked the rearmost enemy aircraft which hurriedly dropped its bombs. The starboard engine was put on fire by Lieutenant Commander H. Bramwell in 7A and the port engine by Lieutenant (A) W. Martin in 7C. This aircraft lost height and was seen to crash into a snowdrift; at Digervarden Lesja, two crew were seen to get out.
(This aircraft had taken off from Fornebu at 1000/26/4/40 on a mission to attack shipping at Andalsnes. During its attack on shipping in Romsdalsfjord it hit and damaged by AA fire from the MANCHESTER. The damaged Heinkel was then attacked by Skuas 7A & 7C, and made a forced landing)
The second He 111P was then attacked by Sub Lieutenant Wigginton in 7B, and the starboard engine put on fire. This aircraft was last seen losing height with smoke pouring from it. Meanwhile, the leading He 111P beat a hasty retreat towards the coast.
The Squadron then reformed and returned to ARK ROYAL, landing on at 1330]

The Skua was more a bite than a He111 would be happy to chew, despite the Skua was pretty outdated itself. The 111 was fast but seriously underprotected and Ark Royal's Skuas enjoyed quite a few victories. Lucky for the Brits the mainstay of the German fighter force in Norway was the 110 which was only slightly more of a threat as a fighter than a sitting duck.
