"To provide further instruction for groups in Gudbrandsdal and Østerdal, which it was believed had been taken over by Milorg, and obtain fresh information on these groups. To arrange for assassinations during ‘Ratweek’ in November 1943. Dropped on 21 September and carried out extensive training with local groups over the following weeks. Although they prepared for ‘Ratweek’ no assassinations were undertaken. In February 1944 they crossed the border into Sweden.

At least three NIC (1) teams, „Goldfinch‟ in Oslo, „Goshawke‟ in the Gudbrandsdal, and „Redwing‟ in Bergen, were assigned to take part in this joint action. They were instructed to wait for a message, „Dei som skulle vekia – mot de som skulle siga‟ (those that shall give way – against those that shall win), which would signal that ‘Ratweek’ should begin. It was eventually broadcast over the BBC on 6 December 1943 at 18.00 hrs"
