After the Allied failure in Central Norway, more preparation was given to the northern forces, including two squadrons of carrier-transported fighters operating from Bardufoss Air Station, one of them consisting of Hurricanes, the other of Gloster Gladiators.

It seems 10 Hurricanes were lost at sea on the way back, I presume there were more, but I don't know so.
