Radio type used on the Norsk Hydro raid by SOE

I am working on a book about the development of wireless, radio, during the wars of the 20th century. I am particularly interested to discover what apparatus was used in the attack on the Norsk Hydro, heavy water factory at Ryukan. Any information would be of great assistance. Although I have a good deal of information on what radios may have been available from the SOE resources, I have so far found no reference to the particular radio used in Telemark.

I am also interested to discover what the American radio transmitter receiver was used by Reed-Olsen in the Kristiansand area towards the end of WW2. I know that he used a Paraset (in a wooden box hidden in a small suitcase) a one time but I believe this must have been his first radio taken with him in 1943. Again any information would be very helpful.

Det var flott! Jeg er alltid en fetish av verdens historie. Bare la meg vite når du er ferdig gjør boken.

Was a so called B2, developed by SOE's John Brown and build by Marconi.
What kind of further information do you need?
Drop me an email at w.mugge@home.nl maybe I can help.

If you have not already contacted Duxford then I heartily recommend the following:

Thanks for the responses. As suggested, I will contact Willem direct. To Bob, the Duxford IWM looks particularly interesting. I knew it existed but the range of material there has now been revealed by going to its website. Many thanks for the tip.

With kind regards,
