I think the Skua had it's day when it sank the german cruiser Königsberg in Bergen harbour april 10. 1940. On june 13. 1940 they attacked the battleship Scharnhorst in Trondheimsfjorden, but met enormous amounts of AAA and lost 8 of the 15 planes that participated. One of those 8 planes has recently been salvaged from the seabed. Norwegian article here: http://www.dagbladet.no/magasinet/20...10/532155.html
