The pilot's view from a Beaufighter twin engined strike aircraft, as a salvo of 25 pound armour piercing rockets streak toward a German freighter (possibly the captured Norwegian merchant ship Ingerseks) anchored in the Risnes Fjord. Another Beaufighter at much lower altitude (right) has turned away to starboard after completing an attack run. The freighter is shrouded in smoke and spray from numerous cannon and rocket strikes.

It was led by 402453 Flight Lieutenant Clive Gordon Thompson, DFC and Bar, (455 Squadron) and was escorted by Mustang fighters from 19 and 65 Squadrons, RAF.
