Nice story...must have been a blast!
My homebase is also Bergen, but in August '42.
Already, it's becoming stressfull to even leave Bergen in 1 piece.
The Royal Navy keeps patrolling between the Britisch Islands and Murmansk...usually a taskforce with at least 1 carrier.
I worry much more about the carrier's own air-cover, then about land-based aircraft.
And when returning home from patrol, it's often the same story.
I'm glad I've upgraded our batteries.
