On M.T.B 666 we sailed from Lerwick carrying supplies for the Norwegian Underground Fighters. We landed them near an island called Batalden near Floro, this was on Dec.13th 1943. We were given three large Christmas trees to take back, one for the Norwegian King exiled in G.B, one for the Norwegian embassy in London, the other for display in Trafalgar Square, the first one to ever be shown in Trafalgar Square, the tradition continues to this day. For the first time i will be going back to that island in July 2003.
