Black Friday (1945)
On 9 February 1945 a force of Allied Bristol Beaufighter aircraft suffered heavy casualties during an unsuccessful attack on German destroyer Z33 and escorting vessels; the operation was labelled "Black Friday" by the surviving Allied aircrew. The German ships were sheltering in a strong defensive position in Førde Fjord, Norway, forcing the Allied aircraft to attack through heavy anti-aircraft fire.

Nausta
Nausta is a river in Sogn og Fjordane county in Norway. It runs through Naustdal, and is a small and medium sized salmon river. From the old bridge across the waterfall Naustdalsfossen you can watch salmon conquer the waterfall in powerful leaps — unless they are caught by rivaling anglers on the banks of the plunging pool. Hooking the fish is difficult — landing it a work of art. The local landowners will show you the best fishing places.
