I had quite a nice run in with three fat troop transports with a heavy escort (several destroyers and a cruiser) heading East towards Norway in grid AF53 on 13th April, 1940.

This video I made might whet your appetite:


Although I make no mention of it in the video due to a lack of footage, while stalking this task force I simultaneously encountered a carrier task force heading on a perpendicar course at high speed on a roughly SSW bearing.

Needless to say these are a lot of juicy targets in a small area, though the area in general seemed heavily saturated with task forces. I encountered yet another carrier task force off the south-west of Norway when I was returning to Kiel with empty tubes, possibly the same one I saw near Narvik on a return leg of their patrol.
